[phobos] automated test failures

[Rainer Schuetze]

Yes, it's reproducible, but the effect can vary easily by 
adding/removing symbols to/from the object file. I get "access 
violation" or "Win32 exception" after an update.

The latest svn revision produces 16784 symbols causing any symbols above 
16384 to be relocated as the first symbols in the object file. See 
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3372

A workaround is to split the compilation into two steps producing 
smaller object files.
