Uhm, let me try to sort this out for you, the thing is that unilink uses 
a config in it's home directory called ulink.cfg (a-la dmd btw) for all 
of it's linking.  It contains default libraries, paths, flags, etc.

Problem is by default it has *wrong* config that blows up at start so 
that people won't forget to configure things before getting hard to 
trace problems (e.g. certain cases of linking very different RTLs into  
unpredicatble mess).

Here is the config I use, it should get you going (things after ; are 
commented out):

# Change and uncoment any of next strings if needed

-r -O    # remap import names, bind image

; -Gw    # D6/BCB6 dfm-style

; -Ge    # disable library exports

; -w-cmt # disable compatibility messages

; -o -Gh # Import by ordinal, strip unused PE headers

-LC:\DMD2\Windows\LIB
-zkernel32;advapi32;user32;wsock32;shell32;snn;phobos
-Go
