It is used to monitor updates of libraries that are not explicitely 
listed on the command line, but are searched for by the linker due to 
"pragma(lib)" directives in the object file.

It is usually not a problem to have the option disabled as these 
libraries tend to be unchanged. My usecase for this is the D runtime 
library itself, which I rebuild from time to time.

Thanks for the offer, I hope I can address this issue soon.
