There's no need to do that, D programs already link to libc by default.
All you need is to declare the right extern(C) prototype (or just import
core.stdc.*) and you can call the function just like in C.  With the
caveat, of course, that D strings are not the same as C's char*, so you
have to use .ptr for string literals and toStringz for dynamic strings.
