Correction: minlibd *is* a druntime port; just a minimal one.
However, I'm not sure this feature is supported yet.
Timo Sintonen did a lot of great work; perhaps getting this

quite mature.
(I accept that there will always be some minor issues when moving 
to a new system, but that does not drag down the quality of the 
compiler).
