small reproduction case for the linker error

I attached a test case that can be compiled with dmd 2.079.1 like this:

    dmd -m32 -shared -fPIC -defaultlib=phobos2 reprocase.d

ld.gold has to be your default linker, otherwise you need to split compilation
and linking:

    dmd -m32 -fPIC -c reprocase.d
    ld.gold -shared reprocase.o

What I found interesting about the test case is that it happens when you create
a sufficiently complex switch-case. Remove one case and the error is gone.
Could it be a bug in jump table generation on x86/PIC ?
