Simple issue but unpleasant fix. You always must use C++ library 
that matches base C++ compiler. For GDC it is GCC (which is used 
by default). For DMD it is DMC (Digital Mars C compiler). For LDC 
it is whatever Clang standard library is called. All those are 
incompatible because rely on different compiler built-ins.
