Dynamic libraries, again

[Jacob Carlborg]

I've been working the whole day on getting Tango to work built as a 
dynamic library with dmd on Mac OS X. I have one problem (for now) that 
I can't seem to solve.

The problem is that the module constructors are not called. That is 
because the module info array in the object module, which contains all 
the module constructors that should be called, is (almost) empty. It 
seems like that the compiler or the linker doesn't put the module 
constructors that are dynamically linked into the executable. I've also 
tried to move the _minfo_beg and _minfo_end variables, which are the 
beginning and the end of the sections containing the module info array, 
from the object module to a statically linked module and then passed 
them as arguments to the _moduleCtor function but without any success.

Does anyone have any idea have to solve the above problem? Does the 
compiler need to be modified?
