Usually you would use the -Bstatic and the -Bdynamic switches which 
whould tell the linker: the libraries passed after this switch should be 
linked statically or dynamically.

But if it's just for on library you could use -l:libphobos2.a or 
-l:libphobos2.so to tell the linker which version to link with.

But i don't know how the user would specify this when compiling 
something with dmd, with the current setup you can pass 
-defaultlib=phobos2so to dynamically link with phobos.
