-c tells dmd to just compile, not link. Pretty strange that this might 
make a difference during object file generation (that's what mscoffobj.c 
does).

You might reduce the error a bit by switching to "single file 
compilation". Or try dustmite to reduce the error (see 
http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/DustMite.html).
