It was a dependency bug in my build process uncovered by the new 
LDC, as Johan suggested.  In my superficial scan of the source 
code, I did not find any kdtree module and so was thinking 
(incorrectly) that it might be a compiler-supplied module.  Turns 
out that it was a module recently added by a colleague.  LDC 
1.21.0-beta1 was correct to identify it as missing from the 
build.  Interestingly, DMD 2.091.0 built the code without 
complaint.

Apologies for the bother but thank you for all of the work on LDC 
(and for the gentle replies to my report).
