Ah, so meson seems to link manually, not via the D compiler, 
ignoring LDC's preference for linkers (so you most likely ended 
up using uber-slow ld.bfd instead of ld.gold) etc. It needs to be 
adapted for LDC v1.29 (to include the special prebuilt object 
file mentioned above that LDC would link in implicitly) if it 
hasn't been already - 'big news' #5 in
