Unfortunately, I haven't found a switch that makes DMD use 
dynamic linking. Maybe I just missed it... So, you have to do it 
step by step:

1) Use the `-c` switch to make the compiler output:
    dmd -O -inline -c foo.d
    This generates `foo.o`.

2) Link by calling `gcc`:
    gcc -o foo foo.o -lphobos2
    This calls `ld` with the right options and results in a binary 
`foo`.

3) Optionally, strip the binary to make it smaller:
    strip foo
