It seems that the cast is lowered to __ArrayCast which in turn ends up
instantiating __equals with the same template parameters, but in a speculative
context (static if). Somehow, the template emission strategy decides that the
instance does not require codegen (from what I can tell, the compiler decides
that it's better to put the instance in the imported module - core.memory in
this case), hence the linker errors.

I think that this strategy should be disabled in the case of betterC as it
currently is with -allinst.
