It does that even with a simple Hello World (this is my go-to 
test module):

module test;

import std.algorithm;
import std.bigint;
import std.conv;
import std.datetime;
import std.format;
import std.math;
import std.random;
import std.range;
import std.stdio;
import std.string;
import std.traits;
import std.typecons;
import std.typetuple;
import std.variant;

void main()
{
     writeln("Hello World!");
}

Note that I have no problem without the -unittest flag.

$ rdmd test.d

works. Also,

$ dmd -unittest test.d

works flawlessly: it's only with:

$ rdmd -unittest test.d

that the error appears.

It's become so annoying that I'm now running a filter script that
removes warning messages from Optlink on win32.

std.net.curl needs it, but AFAIK, it's supposed to be up to the programmer to 
link against when they actually need it rather than it happening 
automatically. I don't know what changed.

I gathered std.net.curl needed it. But I do not import it. Is it somehow
imported by the -unittest flag?

I have no idea. dmd _does_ specifically import some stuff rather than relying
on 
dmd.conf (e.g. -lrt) in part to guarantee linking order IIRC, and IIRC there 
_were_ problems with libcurl and linking order on some Ubuntu systems. So, 
maybe something was done because of that. Maybe something was done to make it 
so that -lcurl was automatically added if std.net.curl was used and something 
with -unittest and Phobos ended up importing it? I wouldn't have thought so, 
but I really don't know what to tell you. This didn't used to happen, and I 
really don't know what changed. I can only guess.

I'll dig into the code to see is something ends up calling std.net.curl.
Heck, I can also get curl somewhere, I guess.

The std.traits unittests apparently import etc.c.curl, which 
features a »pragma(lib, "curl");« declaration. Should be easy to 
swap it out for another module that doesn't produce any 
unintended side effects.

Why does it activate for rdmd and not when compiling and running 
with DMD?

Ah, maybe I get it: when it invokes dmd with the --deps flag, I 
guess DMD activates the pragma, even in unit tests.

I made a bug report:
