Hmm. I just tested it on a 32-bit Debian system, using the package from
the exact URL you gave, and I didn't see any problems. So I'm wondering
if somehow dmd is picking up the wrong version of Phobos somehow, maybe
a stale copy somewhere? Maybe a stale /etc/dmd.conf that pointed to the
wrong version of the library?

(Debian/Ubuntu packages generally do not overwrite modified
configuration files upon installation -- so if there is an old dmd.conf
there that has been modified in the past, it will have stayed unchanged
when you installed the new dmd.  Check if there's a file called
/etc/dmd.conf.dpkg-new; if there is, rename it to /etc/dmd.conf and see
if that fixes the problem.)
