Outlined a few possible approaches to fix this here:

I'm not sure I have the compiler chops to actually fix this myself,
though.  This is a little beyond my level of familiarity with dmd code.
Would be nice if somebody picked this up.

Also, druntime/src/rt/profilegc.d seriously needs to be fixed to
*always* write to the file profilegc.txt when compiled with -profile=gc
(https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19601). Added a note there
also re: possible fixes.
