Are you doing all of that in the main thread, or a separate one?

The loader is not a drop-in replacement. Different function 
names, different error-handling mechanism, different compile-time 
configuration. And it has nothing to do with stability. The 
Derelict packages are quite stable. The whole point of BindBC is 
to make the loader fully @nogc and -betterC compatible while 
simultaneously making maintenance more sensible than what 
Derelict evolved into.
