import mintl.slist;

I get the following result:

I am using dmd 0.119 on linux. What am I doing wrong?

I don't have my Linux box near me right now - I tried it on Windows and it 
work ok (with dmd119) so there could be a problem with linux library. Change 
to the mintl library and try "make -f linux.mak" (though one needs to pay 
attention to the DFLAGS to see if it is building a debug or non-debug 
build). Given that it is erroring in a template function, though, I'm 
somewhat dubious that the library is really the culprit. It it interesting 
that it is complaining about opEquals since that is what currently causes 
build problems with dmd-120 (the latest error is opEquals taking List* or 
List argument). Unfortunately I only be able to see what's going on after 
the weekend.

Rebuilding the lib didn't seem to help anything. However, I do get the following
linker warnings when rebuilding the unittest (and my own program too):

/usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `_D3std6stdarg8va_arg_i6va_argFKPvZi'
changed from 18 in libmintl_debug.a(arraylist.o) to 21 in
libmintl_debug.a(arraylist.o)
/usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `_D3std6stdarg9va_arg_Aa6va_argFKPvZAa'
changed from 23 in libmintl_debug.a(arraylist.o) to 34 in
libmintl_debug.a(arraylist.o)

I don't know if this is related or helps anything.

The warnings are safe to ignore (from what I've been told). I get those, 
too, on Linux in stuff using varargs.
