Yes, and pragma(lib) is already supported in LDC.

Can't you just do something along the lines of having "gdc 
test.d" internally calling "cc1d -o … 
--write-additional-libraries-to-this-file=/tmp/unique.library.deps.file.or.pipe" 
and read from that file/pipe later when linking? Or is this 
forbidden by some GCC rules?
