No. We provide Linux binaries in .zip and pretend they are 
expected to work for all distros which simply can't happen in 
general. Fedora bug report would not have been valid if not 
implication that there is a supported binary distribution for 
Fedora.

I suggest to simply stop pretending any kind of such support 
exist and drop Linux binaries from .zip at all. Motivating people 
to create dmd packages for their native distros scales much 
better (and solves most/all curl issues for Linux)
