FYI, I was trying to build dwt-win with latest SVN Tango and latest hg 
dwt-win sources.

The README.txt in dwt-win says you should turn off DSSS's oneatatime 
setting to speed up compiles.  But after doing that I got link errors 
using DMD 1.025 / DSSS 0.75:

Turning oneatatime back on fixed the problem.  So I think maybe the 
README shouldn't be recommending changing this setting.  Or maybe it can 
offer it as a hint to speed up building the lib, but then say it should 
be set back to "oneatatime: yes" after the lib is built.

Did you gave it exactly one try?
I use dsss only with oneatatime=off all the time. What happens sometimes 
is, that strange linker error occur. Then i restart dsss with -full and 
everything is fine. Does that also work for you?

I did multiple cycles of
    dsss clean
    dsss build
And the error never went away.

I didn't try dsss -full.
If the -full trick works, then it should be mentioned in the README.

Please let me know if it worked for you.

Yes.  This worked:

dsss build  # -- link error on simple.d
dsss build -full simple  # -- ok

Please put that in the README or give me (baxissimo) write access and 
I'll do it.

I've made the change.  Feel free to use the Trac ticket system too. 
That way, we should get email notification when a bug or defect is reported.
