I did try this:

lflags "--whole-archive" "/path/to/libmylib.a" "--no-whole-archive"

But that doesn't work, presumably because the command line contains the 
same library before these flags. So I assume the first occurrence is 
taken and the second ignored.

As an aside, it is very irritating that dub multiplies the flags for 
some reason, e.g. -defaultlib=libphobos2.so appears literally 30 times 
in the same command line. Similar for other flags.
