undefined reference to symbol '_end'

I am trying to link my program with libpq:

$ dmd main.d dbwork.d -ofmain -v -L-lpq

[skipped good output]
import    std.c.linux.socket	(/usr/include/d/dmd/phobos/std/c/linux/socket.d)
import    core.sys.posix.netdb	(/usr/include/d/dmd/druntime/import/core/sys/posix/netdb.di)

/usr/bin/ld: note: '_end' is defined in DSO /lib64/libcom_err.so.2 so try adding it to the linker command line
/lib64/libcom_err.so.2: could not read symbols: Invalid operation

If I am disable linking with libpq (just remove -L-lpq from command line) compiling works fine. What's happening?


Also:


$ nm /usr/lib/libphobos2.a | grep _end
0000000000000000 T _D4core4stdc6stdarg6va_endFPvZv
                 U _deh_end
                 U _end
                 U __libc_stack_end
                 U _end
                 U _D4core4stdc6stdarg6va_endFPvZv

"U" means "The symbol is undefined".
