Linux Shared Library Fun

[jeff]

So, I've been messing around with creating shared libraries in D and 
then dynamically loading them into another D program and calling the 
functions. Thus far this is very simple: just using a function that 
prints "hello" in the library and then the main program loads it.

This whole thing works perfectly if the library is created in C and 
compiled into a .so with gcc. Fun problems arise when I try to compile 
the library in D with gdc (since dmd does not support creation of 
libraries under Linux... which makes me sad). The compilation and 
creation of the library itself is fine... However, when I try to load 
the library in the main program it comes up with this fun error:
./testlib.so: undefined symbol: __data_start

I'm using dlopen, dlsym, etc to pull stuff from the library. I also 
tried std.loader but since it's basically a front-end to dlopen the same 
error occurs.

nm indeed shows that __data_start is undefined in the compiled D 
library. I've tried lazy binding and that does not solve the problem either.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
