I have tried passing libgphobos2.a and libgdruntime.a (and at one 
point every library in the folder I found those two libs in) to 
ld to link with my D source, but it still throws a billion 
'undefined reference' errors.

I really need help here, I have tried so many different things 
and am losing my mind trying to get this to work.

the problem I have with passing the -r option to ld through gdc 
is that -Wl is looking for libgcc_s.a which doesnt even exist on 
the computer, which is annoying
