The only experience I have with C and D linking is DMD compiler. 
Parts of it are still in C and when I tried to compile DMD with 
clang/ldc and clang/dmd everything linked and worked without any 
change because both emit C ABI and ELF object files.

If you write your code with -betterC and mark your functions with 
extern (C) the linker should treat your object file as it was 
compiled from C code
