Are you on Ubuntu 16.10, or some other system with an hardened 
toolchain? If that's the case, you should compile with `-fPIC 
-defaultlib=libphobos2.so`. You can put those options in your 
dmd.conf configuration file, so that you don't have to type them 
every time.

Well, I'm using debian, but I've never had to do anything of that nature 
before.  OTOH, it's been a couple of months if this is a new change.
