First, I'm assuming you are using linux.  If you are not, then you are 
totally off base, you should be using sc.ini

Second, /etc/ is not the first location that dmd looks for a configuration 
file.  From the digital mars page 
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/dcompiler.html:

dmd will look for the initialization file dmd.conf in the following sequence 
of directories:

  1.. current working directory
  2.. directory specified by the HOME environment variable
  3.. directory dmd resides in
  4.. /etc/
