This is not what seems to happen with unit-threaded. for the directory 
~/.dub/packages/unit-threaded-0.7.11/unit-threaded, the tree is:

Note that the gen_ut_main executable and the libunit-threaded.a library
are at the top level and have to recompiled for each
configuration/platform change. There is no separation of the various
configurations and platforms.
