In D1, the garbage collector is actually compiled to a stand-alone  
library, but then it's statically linked into Phobos. If you edit the  
Phobos makefile a bit, you should then be able to specify the GC .lib to  
link to on the compiler/linker command-line.

In D2 it looks like the GC is clumped together with the runtime.
