When trying the option to maybe speed of compilation I get a 
bunch of errors:

Compiles fine without the option.

That option enables "-multiobj" on the dmd command line. It's
undocumented and mimicks what happens when building a library (but keeps
the object files instead of packaging them into the library). I guess
not all of these object files are linked in that case. I should remove
that option.
