This makes building ddox / scod documentation impossible on 
Windows.

There exists a similar optlink issue (duplicate?) also in linking

I'd file the bug with DUB that you are forced to use optlink even 
when specified not to. That's more likely to be fixed than a bug 
in Optlink, as it is programmed in assembly. Any bug found in 
optlink, a limitation is usually just added into DMD for it 
instead of fixing the bug in Optlink.
