FYI here is the log from libomf when compiling "dmd -lib ab.d":

module ab;

struct AB
{
	int a;
	int len() { return (new AB).a; }
}
unittest {}

This suggests that the separate object files are created, but the 
symbols are not added to them. Instead they are placed into the object 
files "ab" and "object". Strings containing "ab_" or "object_" are never 
generated into the library file.

This is the list-file of the lib:
