Hm, I can't reproduce this issue with dmd 2.074.0-1. I've just 
installed dmd and it works out
of the box:

```
➜  arch tmp% pacman -Q | grep phob
libphobos-devel 1:2.074.0-1
➜  arch tmp% pacman -Q | grep dmd
dmd 1:2.074.0-1
➜  arch tmp% cat test.d
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
	writeln("hello!");
}
➜  arch tmp% dmd -c test.d
➜  arch tmp% dmd test.o
➜  arch tmp% ./test
hello!
```
