I think this is because DMD only output templates to one object file 
instead of to all object files. In addition to that there's now way to 
tell DMD or know in which object file it will output the templates.

I think Walter has said that DMD will output templates to all object 
files if you compile with the -lib switch. You can try and see if you 
can modify xfbuild to use the -lib switch.
