$ ldc2 | grep link
   -L=<linkerflag>                                 - Pass 
<linkerflag> to the linker
   -c                                              - Do not link
   -disable-linker-strip-dead                      - Do not try to 
remove unused symbols during linking
   -linkonce-templates                             - Use 
linkonce_odr linkage for template symbols instead of weak_odr
$ ldc2 | grep lib
   -debuglib=<lib1,lib2,...>                       - Default 
libraries for debug info build (overrides previous)
   -defaultlib=<lib1,lib2,...>                     - Default 
libraries for non-debug-info build (overrides previous)
   -disable-simplify-libcalls                      - Disable 
simplification of well-known C runtime calls
   -lib                                            - Create static 
library
   -shared                                         - Create shared 
library

it's all pretty self-explanatory if you're familiar with the gnu 
toolchain. Feel free to ask about any specifics.
