"The actual linking is done by running gcc"

I thought that maybe this meant that I could pass a gcc option 
like -static or -shared through dmd, but it errored out.

Thanks in advance.

Static.

Dynamic linking with Phobos is currently being worked on.

Unfortunately you cannot pass GCC options. You can only pass linker 
options using the -L flag. So if you pass:

dmd -L-foo

DMD will translate that to:

gcc -Xlinker -foo

Note that DMD has the -shared flag. But the runtime isn't capable to 
handle dynamic libraries.
