That must have another reason though. On Win64 and with DMD 2.091 / LDC 1.21,
the 64-bit .obj file size is 27 KB (~2 KB overhead for the object.RTInfoImpl
bit mask for the precise GC) and contains no struct initializers at all. The
final executable size is < 0.5 MB when linking MSVC statically, and < 0.25 MB
when linking MSVC dynamically.

I.e., seems totally fixed.
