--- Comment #13 from Silvercircle <silvercircle at gmail.com> ---
The issue is still valid on a fresh install of 32bit Debian 10.1 (Buster i686)
with most recent DMD (DMD 2.088.1 as of now) downloaded from dlang.org.

However, it only happens when linking with the default linker (which is still
the bfd variant on Debian i686). I've set ld.gold as default linker and this
seems to fix the problem with the crashes.

No issue so far with a couple of projects of different size.

Works:
[alex at nexus:/home/alex]$>ld --version
> GNU gold (GNU Binutils for Debian 2.31.1) 1.16

Does not work (all executables crash with SIGSEGV on start).
Affects both debug and release builds
> GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.31.1

ld.gold is installed on Debian but not set as default. It can be used by either
passing -fuse-ld=gold to the linker or by using update-alternatives to set
ld.gold as system-wide default.

sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/ld" "ld" "/usr/bin/ld.gold" 20
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/ld" "ld" "/usr/bin/ld.bfd" 10
