Asterisk expansion is a shell feature. dmd probably doesn't go through a 
shell when running ld.

Even if it did, no expansion would be done there, because the word is 
looked at as a whole. With the leading "-L", the pattern doesn't match 
an actual path. For example, compare `echo /*` with `echo -L/*`.

You have to spell the different paths out.
