`lld-link` is the linker that LDC calls by default (apparently in 
your case), but that program is not shipped with LDC. You have to 
install it separately.
You can compile with the `-v` flag to see the command that LDC 
calls to invoke the linker (at the end of the output).

Another idea it to use `--link-internally`, which uses the linker 
built into LDC (same linker as lld-link).
