This is supposedly an issue in DUB's build.sh that has recently been 
fixed on GIT master [1]. The problem is caused by the uncommon 
definition of the $DC variable in posix.mak that resulted in build.sh 
not recognizing it as DMD and skipping the necessary linker workaround 
(libphobos2 needs to be passed after libcurl, but by default libphobos2 
always gets passed first).

Workaround is to edit posix.mak and change
   DC="$(abspath ${STABLE_DMD}) -conf=$(abspath ${STABLE_DMD_CONF})"
to
   DC=dmd

in the "${DUB}:" target.
