Thanks.

(trying...)

okay, now it gives:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltango-base-dmd
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1
Command /usr/bin/rebuild returned with code 65280, aborting.
Error: Command failed, aborting.

hmm... I have a
/usr/lib/libtango-dmd.a

editing dmd-posix-tango to go from
    cmd=dmd -L--start-group -L-ltango-base-dmd $i -of$o
to
    cmd=dmd -L--start-group -L-ltango-dmd $i -of$o
works!

Now it seems to cleanly build with tango.
