Try prefixing the python lib with -L like so:

dmd -unittest -property -debug -gc  -version=Python_2_7_Or_Later 
-version=Python_2_6_Or_Later -version=Python_2_5_Or_Later 
-version=Python_2_4_Or_Later -L-ldl 
-L/usr/lib/python2.7/config/libpython2.7.a  object_.d -ofobject_.x 
-I../../infrastructure/  -L-ldl -L-lutil -v
