Might be related to http://d.puremagic.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72

A potential workaround:

1) edit dmd/src/phobos/internal/gc/linux.mak

remove -relase from DFLAGS:
DFLAGS=-O -inline -I../..

2) recompile libphobos.a

3) replace your current libphobos.a with the one found at
dmd/src/phobos/libphobos.a
