Don't know if this is the same problem but this three year old 
thread shows some problem doing incremental complication:

http://forum.dlang.org/thread/h8ddc5$1h67$1@digitalmars.com?page=1

The problem is that DMD doesn't output template instantiations to 
all object files, which will cause linker errors, making 
incremental compilation harder to implement.

Walter doesn't seem to want to implement a flag that output the 
template instantiations to all object files.
