It's not quite clear to me what your goals are. Official DMD and 
LDC packages are portable, don't require any external 
dependencies either and ship with these tools.

Your DMD builds are 64-bit and compiled with LDC, vs. 32-bit and 
DMD of official builds, so that's an improvement.

I downloaded your LDC build and after a quick glance noticed that 
it's 32-bit (?) and contains
* just the x86 and x86_64 LLVM backends (e.g., no support for 
WebAssembly and dcompute),
* a phobos.lib merging both druntime and Phobos (DMD-style, 
unlike official LDC),
* NO debug and LTO versions of druntime/Phobos,
* NO dynamicCompile/JIT and compiler-rt libraries (e.g., needed 
for profiling),
* superfluous imports (the internal/hidden gc and rt packages),
* NO imports/ldc/gccbuiltins*.di,
* NO readme and license files,
* NO `-link-defaultlib-shared=false` in the config file, so that 
linking DLLs with `-shared` probably fails,
* the static MS libs which cannot be officially redistributed 
(license...) but allow people to generate binaries not depending 
on the MS runtime DLLs.

Once your goals are clearer, there may be much simpler solutions, 
e.g., augmenting the official LDC builds by the MS libs instead 
of the MinGW-based ones.
