So here, your main dynamic library in turn dynamically loads 
plugins. Did you try simply calling a function exported by a 
plugin from the static constructor in the main library after it 
had made the call to initialize druntime to see if that 
stimulated running the plugin's static constructors first? The 
problem you linked to suggests that might do the job. I haven't 
run into this problem yet myself. But I'm interested.
