I've got the same problems; though, I found by accident, that in the
platform related libraries like glx.d and Xlib.d the function pointer
aliases have D linkage:

alias void function(void *, char *, int, int, char * *) _BCD_func__849;

There is no extern(C): at the start of the files. It should of course read:

alias extern(C) void function(void *, char *, int, int, char * *)
_BCD_func__849;

I can't test it right here, since I've got no xf86vm (why is this needed at
all?)
