I suggest that you find another way to achieve this goal.

Here are some ideas:

- Run the test suite without -release, if it's not being run that way yet
- Build nightlies without -release
- If the performance impact isn't too bad, just ship the release versions of
DMD without -release.

As stated, for reasons explained above, this issue is a Really Bad Idea. We
already have enough trouble with the default build flags not matching up with
what's shipped (mainly fPIC-related).
