Not sure if the D community know about this but:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/golang-nuts/UOIUyn7uFsY/Uescy-cI7hQJ

"the linker in the gc toolchain is capable of linking foreign object files
(provided that architecture
matches), e.g. you can link a amd64 ELF file into a amd64 Mach-O binary,
 or a 386 COFF file
into a 386 ELF binary."

Perhaps the linker from the gc toolchain could help some people using D who
want to be able to just link whatever binary files together?

If this is already known please ignore :D. If this is not usable for D and
has already been tried please reply.

Cheers,
-Rory
