--- Comment #9 from Timothee Cour <timothee.cour2 at gmail.com> ---
>> Sorry, what is the use case of using -c ? I think it working was a mere accident. If you want to syntax-check the file, use dmd (not rdmd) with -o-. Or do you want to compile everything into a single object file for some reason?

Use case: when dmd's built-in linker magic isn't good enough (eg 
http://forum.dlang.org/post/mailman.765.1481492407.9448.digitalmars-d@puremagic.com
where i have to first compile then link to get -pie but I keep running into
similar issues where i want to link seperately because the default isn't good
enough)
