I have to compile DMD on some computers that I have SSH access to because the
sysadmin insists on running some caveman era distro of Linux.  It uses kernel
version 2.6.9, which was apparently released in 2004!  The binary that ships with
DMD doesn't work with the shared libraries on a distro this old.
