Mingw and dmd are not compatible with each other. To debug dmd generated 
executables, try the windbg debugger included with dmd.zip.

Yeah, I eventually figured that out to solve my problem. However, windbg is very
limitted use, since "-g" doesn't work :(

What is the ETA (if any) on getting "-g" to work, and will dmd be compatible
with mingw in the (near) future?

Why not use GDC, if you want it to be GDB and MinGW-compatible ?

I do like the GDC project -- but I don't like using v0.140, I want to make sure
my application works (and is compiled with) the latest D spec. How does GDC
compare with DMD in performance? And I like using 'build', I don't want to make
makefiles and such...

Maybe I should grab GDC just when I really need GDB compatibility, but otherwise
use DMD.

GDC is currently recovering from the absence of David Friedman,
so there might be a while yet before any GDC 0.18 with DMD 15x
is stable enough for any public consumption - but getting there

As far as my own experiences go, DMD is a lot faster then what GDC is...
(in the compile step, I haven't actually benchmarked what they generate)
But I do think that Build supports GDC, on the "usual two" platforms ?

 but otherwise use DMD.


That seems to be the current status, yes. Never hurts to test with two
compilers either, even if GDC is a bit behind now ("soo last year...")

What do you mean by it not working? It works when I use it.

I believe objdump works with .obj not .exe
