While you are linking with the phobos you compiled yourself with 
-defaultlib, ldd (and your binary) will pickup the one available in one 
of the paths configured for the run-time shared library loader.

To actually make use of the phobos you compiled you also need to set the 
rpath.

```
-L-rpath=/path/to/phobos
```

Or use phobos as a static library.
