I'm not really interrested in a phobos shared lib because I only use 2 
modules from phobos (traits, typetuple). I'm currently trying to make a 
shared library version of druntime so that I can create own shared 
libraries that all use the same druntime dll. Doing that I hope to 
bypass all the tls / gc issues, because there is only one instance of 
druntime. I don't want to dynamically load the dlls I just want to link 
them into the executables. If I'm not mistaken that would cause all 
symbols to be already resolved before any D code starts running.

Do you see any problem with this approach?
If optlink only supports a limited number of exports in the def file 
that is indeed going to be an issue.

Mabye if they get dynamic library support on linux done at some point 
the situation improves.

Kind Regards
