1) With LDC
------------

make -f posix.mak HOST_DMD=ldmd (or ldmd2 - depending on your 
distro)

2) Release mode params
-----------------------

It's defined here:

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/master/src/posix.mak#L242

It doesn't add -noboundscheck by default.
Typically the Makefiles allow passing an initial DFLAG variable, 
but that one doesn't seem to allow it, so I just submitted a PR 
to do so (https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/8089).
With this PR you can do:

make -f posix.mak HOST_DMD=ldmd ENABLE_RELEASE=1 
DFLAGS="-noboundscheck"

You might want to give ENABLE_LTO a try too.
