You're stuck, linking manually with gcc, which means copying all of the 
appropriate linker flags from dmd.conf. It also means that you don't get 
symbols in your stack traces for some reason (I've never been able to figure 
out why). It does work though. Still, I'd love it if this bug could be fixed. 
I hate dynamically linking anything if I can help it.
