digitalmars.D - Building 2.063.2 from source produces non-working toolchain??

While trying to track down a 2.063.2 problem someone posted to the
D.learn forum, I tried to build dmd/druntime/phobos 2.063.2 from source,
and to my chagrin, discovered that the resulting toolchain is
non-functional.  Even the simplest program:

	void main() {}

doesn't compile:

/mnt/1/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../x86_
4-linux-gnu/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
test.o: In function `no symbol':
test.d:(.text+0x6): undefined reference to `_Dmodule_ref'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1

Attempting to run Phobos unittests also aborts with undefined references
to `_Dmodule_ref'.

Am I doing something wrong?? How did 2.063.2 even build in the first
place?

P.S. I'm on Linux 64-bit, in case that matters. (Also, I don't have
32-bit development libraries installed -- could that be a problem?)

Possibly, although I don't know what the expected symptoms of that would
be.

Could you post the exact steps you're using to checkout, build and test
the toolchain? Also, are you sure your dmd.conf is right and that the
right dmd.conf is being picked up?

The following works for me, although my Linux box is a 32-bit VM (stupid
consumer-level Intel CPU with no hardware virtualization...). But doing
s/32/64/ *should* make it work on a 64-bit:

*facepalm* I'm an idiot. My dmd.conf was broken, because it didn't
include the -L-L% P%/../../druntime/lib component, so no wonder it
couldn't find the startup files.

I'll crawl into the corner to hide now. ;-)

Thanks for the detailed paste, though. I wouldn't have discovered the
problem otherwise!

Using a clone from git or the zip release?

Clone from git, then git checkout v2.063.2.
