Okay, I created dmd-beta on the AUR. It's a drop-in replacement 
package for dmd, but updated to 2.075.0 and built with PIC=1. So 
static linking, which is used by default, (should) work.

Please when let me know when you encounter issues.

I still hope that the TU finally get around rebuilding dmd...
