Well, actually, I suppose libc, libm, libpthread, and whatever 
else is needed to create a binary is actually provided by the 
target, and not by the GNU toolchain.  I suppose I could copy the 
necessary .a/.o/.so files to the Windows host, but is there some 
way to have ldc invoke lld.exe on the host, or will I have to 
resort to -c (separate compile and link) to avoid having to 
provision a windows GCC toolchain?
