are you sure you are building with the correct versions and stuff, IIRC D/Linux 
and D/win32 use very different exception handling. If the common entry point 
actually is extern(Windows) I would say this is a bug. throw is not performance 
critical, wrap it in an extern(C) alternatively, why can't dmd/linux use 
different names for the built-ins than dmd/win32.
