Unable to get Phobos working on Ubuntu x64 (Oneiric)

[Justin Whear]

I tore my hair out over this before I examined the gcc line run by dmd, and 
found that -lphobos2 was being dropped in after -lrt. The simple fix is to 
modify your dmd.conf (build something with dmd -v to see where this is) such 
that "-L-lphobos2" is added BEFORE "-L-lrt".
