You're sure that's a linking problem?
GDC only use DMD frontend, so if it's a linking problem it should be ld's.

LD seems to behave absurdly that it expects to resolve symbols.
e.g.
a.o provides symbol c, and b.o needs symbol c
you'd better feed ld with: b.o a.o not a.o b.o

Though you have that amount of files, the effort of tweaking orders just  
wastes your time. Try to make your code dmd compatible and try dmd!
