The problem is that the official DMD executable for Windows is 
built with an old and outdated linker known as optlink. Just 
build DMD yourself using ldc2 or just use ldc2 instead.

This issue already been reported and a pull request that fixed 
the issue was made, but no action has been taken on D's 
management end.
