Quick note for Linux users/packagers: We've changed the way the D code 
in the compiler front-end is built to be able to cleanly take 
environment/LLVM linker flags into account 
(https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/1594). This fixes a number 
of previous linking issues and should ultimately be much more solid, but 
we'd particularly appreciate help in testing the new build system bits 
in as many environments as possible before the release.

If you are using the upcoming Ubuntu 16.10, also be aware that it ships 
with a system linker patched to produce position-independent executables 
by default. This will lead to linker errors ("relocation … can not be 
used") unless LDC is also set to generate position-independent code by 
using -relocation-model=pic (default since 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/1664, but not part of the 
beta yet).
