These errors comes after replacing kernel32.lib in dmd. Not sure if that 
was clear from my post.

How is kernel32.lib supplied with dmd created?

This is a simple test showing a missing symbol:
pragma(lib, "kernel32.lib");
extern(Windows) {
     uint LocaleNameToLCID(const(wchar)*, int);
}

void main() {
     auto us = LocaleNameToLCID("en-US", 0);
}
