Compiling with dmd produces some interesting complaints from the linker,
whereas compiling with ldc (1.35) does not:

(dmd-2.107.1)dca at giovanni:/tmp$ dmd testit.d
ld: error: testit.o:(function D main: .text._Dmain+0xe): R_X86_64_GOTTPOFF must
be used in MOVQ or ADDQ instructions only
ld: error: testit.o:(function D main: .text._Dmain+0x26): R_X86_64_GOTTPOFF
must be used in MOVQ or ADDQ instructions only
