I meant that I would prefer to link statically, and if that is 
possible with dmd, what is the right command to pass to dmd and 
the linker (64 bit linux, arch)?  If not, can I do so with gdc 
and ldc, and what are the right commands?  And failing that, 
which library files should I include if only dynamic linking 
works.  The bug report seemed to suggest static linking might not 
be possible with dmd, if I understand it correctly (which I am 
not certain I do).

It's not working currently, but the error message I get back from 
AWS (I have to call via nodejs) is uninformative, and it might 
also be because I am compiling on arch, and I think amazon linux 
is closest to centos 6.

AWS lambda seems a pretty cool idea.  I am not sure if it will be 
much use for what I want to do, but it might do, and so I wanted 
to play around with it a little.

Thanks.


Laeeth.
