Larger projects (like qtd) are suffering from problems with large object files
with a lot of symbols, where the linker creates bad fixups, creating
executables that are calling wrong functions.

Here's a test case that creates a lot of symbols

//////////////////////////////////////

import std.stdio;

class genfuns(int n, int m)
{
    static void run() { 
        genfuns!(n - 1, m).run(); 
    }
}

class genfuns(int n : 0, int m)
{
    static void run() { writefln("=== 0, %d ===", m); }
}

void main()
{
    // dmd-release: stack overflow with n=700
    // dmd-debug:   stack overflow with n=500
    genfuns!(300, 0).run(); 
    genfuns!(300, 1).run();
    genfuns!(300, 2).run();
    genfuns!(300, 3).run();
    genfuns!(300, 4).run();
    genfuns!(300, 5).run();
    genfuns!(300, 6).run();
    genfuns!(300, 7).run();
    genfuns!(300, 8).run();
    genfuns!(300, 9).run();
    genfuns!(300, 10).run();
    genfuns!(300, 11).run();
}
////////////////////////////////////////////

The output looks like this:

=== 0, 0 ===
=== 0, 1 ===
=== 0, 2 ===
=== 0, 3 ===
=== 0, 4 ===
=== 0, 5 ===
=== 0, 6 ===
=== 0, 7 ===
=== 0, 8 ===
=== 0, 9 ===
=== 0, 0 ===
=== 0, 0 ===

That shows, that the two last functions are calling wrong functions. The
symbols don't even show up in the map file, but are still in the debug info.
There you can see, that the adress is plain wrong, and searching the symbol in
the object file dump, it seems that symbol #16384 + n gets the address of
symbol #n.
