This prompted me to check how creating a dynamic library is handled by 
D for Xcode. D for Xcode does this exact thing you describe: use GCC 
for linking (because Xcode expects gcc when converting build settings 
to command line arguments). So I added a dynamic library target to a 
project to check if it worked all right, and it does! It's great to see 
a feature like this (creating a dynamic library) work without having 
tested it before. :-)

Perhaps I need to add a project template for dynamic libraries so you 
can save the few clicks it takes to create the target.
