Thanks. At first it didn't seem to work. Then I realized that the 
`--link-internally` flag that's specified in `ldc.conf` prevents 
changing the linker. Took it off, and the gold linker understood 
the flag in question, but had problems with others. I tried 
removing some, but there were still more to remove. Getting WASM 
code to link tends to be trial and error in my experience, so I 
decided best not to stray far from what Spasm does.

I also tried LDC 1.18, but the dub also added that unwanted flag 
here. I don't wan't to use older LDC than that.

However, extracting the LDC invocation and manually calling it 
without `--no-as-needed` appears to work. Solution? I'm going to 
write my `build.d` to do just that automatically.

Is there an issue about that already, or should I open one?
