This could be an Oh #### :-(

So when compiling for shared object usage on Arch you have to use the
command line options:

-shared -defaultlib=lphobos

instead of:

-shared -defaultlib=phobos2-ldc

It seems then that no-one using Arch is using SCons working with D.

Is there any way of getting CI on Arch for a person who uses only
Debian and Fedora?
