1.032 is the first version where phobos.lib is built using the new -lib switch.
 That seems the likely culprit.

I tried building hello world tests with dmd 1.031 and 1.032 to see the size
differences:

Hello world with writefln (import std.stdio):
1.031: 114.4 k
1.032: 269.5 k

Hello world with printf (no imports):
1.031: 78.0 k
1.032: 121.5 k


So something bad definitely happened between 1.031 and 1.032.  Now, if someone
could be bothered to try building phobos 1.032 without the -lib switch and
compare, that would be great.
