I don't think it does, it's probably hard-coded based on the 
target, though you can usually override various elements with 
flags. Since every target has its own selection of flags and 
object files it needs, we delegate linking to the C 
(cross-)compiler for that target.

You can always choose your own linker for ldc with the -linker= 
flag and do everything manually if you want though.

Yes, but it would be an impossible task to do it for any 
non-trivial set of platforms. It's _much_ easier to free-ride off 
the C compiler which has already been configured for the target.
