          Issue ID: 19291
           Summary: undefined reference linker error with separate
                    compillation
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: zorael at gmail.com

Manjaro/Arch x86_64, dmd v2.082.0, dub v1.11.0.

The code in the linkererror branch at
https://github.com/zorael/kameloso/tree/linkererror compiles in normal mode but
gives an undefined reference error when building with dub
--build-mode=singleFile.

The error disappears and compilation succeeds if a local import inside a
function (main) is moved up to module-level.
