--- Comment #2 from Johannes Pfau <johannespfau at gmail.com> ---
I think DMD has got the same problem and now there's the workaround of linking
the tests into a shared library instead, so closing as WONT FIX.

AFAIK there's no way to really make static libraries work for this, as the
linker always only pulls required objects in, except when using 
-Wl,--whole-archive.

A solution is to directly link all objects instead of creating an archive
(which is what we do for druntime & phobos tests now to avoid this problem).
