Add

-L--export-dynamic

to your dmd build command, and you should get mangled names. Demangled names are 
still in the works unfortunately, but it's better than nothing.

Personally, my real problem is the difficulty in figuring out which unittest an 
exception was thrown from when it's not an assert in the unit test itself which 
fails. But fixing that would require name unit tests, and Walter hasn't agreed to 
do those yet...

In any case, you should be able to get mangled names on linux.
