Presumably Microsoft's linker if that's at all possible.

Unfortunately, having to use dmc for C or C++ in order to link it with D code in 
Windows would make D a non-starter for any project that couldn't be in pure D 
where I work. Most of our stuff is cross-platform between Linux and Windows, 
using gcc on Linux and Visual Studio on Windows, and I don't think that there's 
any hope of getting anyone to switch to using dmc. If D code could be linked 
with code generated by Microsoft's compiler, then I'd have a much better chance 
of getting folks where I work to use D. As it is, it would have to be for 
standalone projects only, and most of our projects aren't standalone.
