error:

OPTLINK : warning 9: Unkown Option : LA

I got this version of OPTLINK from the DMC zip hosted here: 
http://downloads.dlang.org/other/dm857c.zip. It says it's version 
8.00.15, and the copyright message says "1989-2010" (as opposed 
to "1989-2013", as the copy of OPTLINK in my regular DMD install 
says).

I fixed the problem by just copying the version of OPTLINK from 
my regular DMD install, but it seems like that old version of 
OPTLINK that's shipping in the DMC zip might be the wrong one.

I get the same issue when using DMC to build the git head version 
of DMD, but I've always just ignored that warning. Things seem to 
work okay even with it.
