Only Linux and FreeBSD shared libraries are officially supported 
and tested by druntime upstream:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/posix.mak#L97

Ldc piggybacks off Martin's shared library work and should 
support those two also.  I believe all other platforms are in 
various incomplete states, at least as reported by others like 
Jacob and Guillaume.
