Well, I haven't actually gone so far as to look at the symbols in the library, 
but there is no libdruntime.a - only a libphobos.a - and it works. And if you 
build phobos, you still need to build druntime first. So, really, the only way 
that it could really work from what I can see is that libphobos.a includes the 
stuff from libdruntime.a in it. Why or how, I don't know.
