I just wanted to post that this worked. Running DMD with the "-v" 
flag showed exactly how it uses CC to link. I was able to compile 
with DMD and then add the "-no-pie" flag to the CC linker command 
and it works perfectly now - the binary is tagged as "executable" 
and can now be run by clicking it's icon in the GUI.

Thanks, Paul.
