So, I downloaded all stables an rebuilt and replaced and same 
error ;/(dmd, druntime, and phobos)

The error seems to be in something else:

1. I had to use fix up the paths to get win64.mak to compile 
because the paths are hard coded for old visual 
studio/clang/sdk's that simply do not translate in to the newer 
visual studio revamps. (wish it did, because it's a pain to find 
all the right files).

2. druntime64.lib has _d_arrayboundsp and _d_assertp in it(doing 
a text search).

Any ideas? I'm at a loss. So close but so far!
