I am guessing I will need to raise issues in the various issue trackers
but:

I am finding that GtkD highlights some issues for GDC and LDC2. One of
the moment relates to gtk.Builder.connectSignals. My code compiles and
runs as expected with DMD, but with GDC and LDC2 the signals fail to
connect.

Also interesting to note that -o- appears to do bizarre things with both
DMD and LDC2 (not an issue for GDC of course).

What are you expecting -o- to do? It is documented to suppress generation of .o 
files.

 What are you expecting -o- to do?

A better question would be 'In what context are you using -o-?'  As it
might not be in regards to the compiler at all.

As for GDC it could one of two things.

1) Write assembly output to stdout
2) Create an executable named -

.o 
 files.

The questions I have are:

Should -o- stop the creation of the final executable?

Why is a file with the name of the final executable created?

What I had inferred, perhaps erroneously, was that -o- would just avoid
writing the .o files whilst creating the final executable. However
neither DMD or LDC2 do this. LDC2 generates no files, whilst DMD
generates a file with the name of the final executable but which is not
an executable.

Are either of those actually useful?

-o- is not something I would ever think of as an option to any GCC-based
compiler, perhaps I am missing something :-)

Isn't this option borrowed from gcc?

I think that is the whole point, whatever dmd and ldc2 do as command
line options, gdc is a part of GCC and so follows the gcc, g++, etc.
command line options.
