The original plan was based off DMD's implementation, but those hooks are unavailable on LDC (obviously, in retrospect -_- ). Instead, LDC relies on a linked list, and the initial pointer is available as `_Dmodule_ref`. The linked list contains pointers to `ModuleInfo`, which LWDR can then iterate over.

Thanks for the information, but I'd prefer not to modify the 
compiler just to make LWDR work (mtriple is `arm-none-eabi`). 
It's not an issue at all - the LDC version is running perfectly. 
I simply should have looked a bit harder.
