This sounds similar to what Arjan reported just today: somehow optlink 
is preferred over the MS linker (unfortunately they are both called 
link.exe). Please check linker path on the "Projects and 
Solutions->Visual D settings->DMD directories->x64" options page. It 
should have an absolute path to avoid optlink being found first via the 
PATH environment variable.

If this doesn't reveal anything, please post the buildlog or the 
*.build.cmd file in the output directory.
