I run this:

```
dub build --combined --build-mode=allAtOnce
```

Still got an error:

cc version:

Not sure that the options are correct: "-Xlinker 
-no_compact_unwind -ld_classic -L/Library/D/dmd/lib -lphobos2 
-lpthread -lm".

My build options are currently:

```
     "dflags-dmd": [ "-v"],
     "lflags": ["-ld_classic"]
```

I tried some variations but nothing worked.
