Found another one while looking into this:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16966

Regarding the bugs here:

The -of=/-od= thing (comment 3) seems to be a simple oversight. rdmd has just
not been thought of when the feature was implemented in dmd. Should be easy to
fix.

-o- not working (comment 2) seems to a deliberate restriction.

Supporting -c as in the summary may be some work. I must have missed that
scenario completely when doing <https://github.com/dlang/tools/pull/194>.
Problem is that rdmd now treats the root module specially: compiles it
separately, links everything together in a separate step. That doesn't go
naturally with -c, as far as I see. May have to detect -c and do things
completely different then.

-lib not working with relative paths (comment 3) seems odd. I hope it's just a
simple bug, and not a design flaw. I haven't investigated.

I'm going to look into this further, but it may take me a while. If anyone else
wants to have a go, that would be great.
