I think Rémy's advice is a little outdated when dealing with 
shared libraries, which are now supported on linux, so the fake 
main is not necessary there anymore:

http://dlang.org/dll-linux.html#dso7

Try linking to phobos as a shared library as shown there and then 
calling the D function, I believe it should work (you'll also 
need to call rt_init() before the D library and rt_term() after).
