Compiling dmd with -fPIC shoudn't matter, building the static version of 
Phobos works for me (make -f posix.mak DFLAGS="-fPIC"), but i don't have 
an hardened gcc, so that may be why.

Google tells me the DT_TEXTREL error is because of non -fPIC objects in 
a shared library.

test.d still needs to be build with -fPIC.
