          Issue ID: 18810
           Summary: root/ctfloat depends upon backend
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: regression
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: alphaglosined gmail.com

For Windows using -m64 or -m32mscoff root/ctfloat depends upon the backend for
the symbols ld_sprint and strtold_dm.

They are defined in el.c and strtold.c.

This is a blocker for dmd as a library depending upon how it is used.

LDC[0] has outright removed both symbols.
