[dmd-beta] Getting Beta: dmd 1.067 and 2.052 beta

[David Simcha]

Never mind, I figured it out.  You just have to pass the linker the name of
the lib, put it in a lib directory, etc.

Correct:

Have a library named libfoo.a in lib32 and one in lib64.

Pass -L-lfoo

Incorrect:
Have a library named foo32.a and one named foo64.a

Pass -L/somedirectory/foo32.a -L/somedirectory/foo64.a
