into target object files to make bare metal 32-bit code?

Need some samples and build scripts to do it. Or maybe move to 
ldc2 required

Make an empty file called object.d in your build directory then 
compile with dmd and it won't emit much of anything in there.

I've run dmd programs on bare metal x86 many times in the past 
(but not recently, i have so many other things to do) including 
for one section of my "D Cookbook" almost ten years ago now (it 
is easier now than it used to be, back then you had to have 
something in object.d, now an empty one is mostly permitted)
