This is a 'feature' of DMD. As DMD invokes the linker, it controls what the
linker's command line is, and it invokes it in a way that always causes the
.map file to be created. I had to work hard to eliminate this in Bud. In
short, you need to invoke the linker yourself using a response file to pass
it the correct style of command line options. It's all there in the OptLInk
documentation except the part that you need to set the environment symbol
LIB correctly for Phobos just before running the linker.
