For example, C++ is loosely tied to RTTI, exceptions and other run time stuff, and G++ gives us a way to disable them: --fno-rtti, --fno-exceptions etc... I guess other compilers do. But it seems no way to do the same thing in DMD or GDC.

The D runtime library is heavily tied to TypeInfo/ClassInfo/ModuleInfo (D's RTTI "equivalent"). 
Thus removing these will break pretty much everything...

Exceptions should be possible to eliminate though...

I LLVMDC I've added a -noruntime switch, which will error out if it reaches an expression that 
implicitly invokes the runtime.
