DMD v0.101 for Linux

_After_ rebuilding libphobos.a on Linux, this code will cause a segfault:

void main()
{
char[] str;
str ~= "test"; // segfault
//str = str ~ "test"; // Ok
}

Tracing it into internal/gc/gc.d, it will cause the segfault at this line of
code (dereferencing px.data is the culprit):

extern (C)
Array _d_arrayappend(Array *px, byte[] y, uint size)
{
uint cap = _gc.capacity(px.data); // segfault here

Used ar to extract and obj2asm to dump the assembler from both the newly
recompiled gc.o and the as-shipped gc.o. The diff file showed differences in the
generated code for the _d_arrayappend function.

as-shipped:
_d_arrayappend:
push    EBP
mov EBP,ESP
sub ESP,0Ch
push    EBX
mov EBX,8[EBP]  ; <-----------
mov EAX,_D3std2gc3_gcPS3gcx2GC
push    ESI
push    EDI
mov EDI,014h[EBP]
push    dword ptr 4[EBX]
call    near ptr _D3gcx2GC8capacityFPvZk

as-compiled:
_d_arrayappend:
push    EBP
mov EBP,ESP
sub ESP,010h
push    EBX
mov EBX,0Ch[EBP] ; <----------
mov EAX,_D3std2gc3_gcPS3gcx2GC
push    ESI
push    EDI
mov EDI,018h[EBP]
push    dword ptr 4[EBX]
call    near ptr _D3gcx2GC8capacityFPvZk

The obj2asm for the program (-O -inline -release):
_Dmain:
push    EBP
mov     EBP,ESP
sub     ESP,8
push    1
lea     EAX,-8[EBP]
mov     dword ptr -8[EBP],0
mov     dword ptr -4[EBP],0
push    dword ptr _TMP0[01Fh]
push    dword ptr _TMP0[021h]
push    EAX
call    near ptr _d_arrayappend
add     ESP,010h
mov     ESP,EBP
pop     EBP
ret

The relavant assembler for the non-release build is the same, and also causes
the segfault.

The diff file is attached.

No, I know what's wrong. The calling conventions on linux are slightly
different, and that tripped me up. It's now fixed.
