Its a pretty old ticket,

Rainer Schulze implemented library code that patches the data symbol 
tables manually to get phobos to work as a DLL but the patch is quite old:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4071

Look at the dll_patchImportRelocations function in the druntime patch

Usually the compiler should generate code to get the correct import 
address for each data symbol if I understood it correctly.

Also there are a lot more issues with dlls,
you can't export certain symbols that are needed, for example the module 
info internal symbols. Rainer fixed this by adding a -exportall switch 
to dmd.

And of course there are the runtime issues with the TLS storage and 
Module (De)Initialization.
