So I've tried DSSS out of curiosity on tango on Mac with the new shiny dmd. 
BTW build-dmd.sh works, so this is a DSSS trial.

I've got the DSSS.pkg by Anders and changed default to dmd-posix in
/usr/etc/rebuild, and culled -version=Posix out of the compile cmd.  

Strangely, it chokes on ar, issuing it twice: first for the ar rc lib objects,
then just ar rc lib.  Both invocations are the liblink cmd.  I sense there's
something funny going on with the timings here?

It is not necessary to even use ar. dmd can build libraries directly 
(and very fast!) with the -lib switch.

Perhaps you have this problem:

I use dsss 0.75 and it works.
