Hi,

I've been trying to build phobos on a linux system, and it's 
failing during the link step :
   /usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--no-warn-search-mismatch'

Poking at this a little, I see that I'm running a relatively old 
version of ld :

[np274 login-0-0 phobos]$ ld --version
GNU ld version 2.17.50.0.6-20.el5_8.3 20061020

and this flag wasn't available then.

Unfortunately, I can't upgrade this and was wondering if there 
was a way to change the linker flags that dmd sends to ld..

Thanks in advance!

I think this flags is set in /etc/dmd.conf (or whenever dmd.conf 
is located on your system). At least mine has 
"-L--no-warn-search-mismatch" there.
