On Linux and a few other hosts, DMD uses gcc (or whatever is defined in the CC
environment variable) to do its linking.  Currently there seems to be no way to
pass flags into this C compiler.  

This becomes a problem when you NEED to change the flags passed into that
compiler.  The -Llinkerflag, unfortunately, doesn't help here.  An example of
this is issue 5278 (http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5278). 
Without this patch, I would need to go through a lot of hoops just to upgrade
my compiler every time.
