I use DMD to make shared libraries on Linux all the time. Is 
there a reason you have to use LDC?

Because LDC has a free license that is a nust have to be allowed
to put a package into fedora. ( I package for fedora)

This question belongs in the ldc forum then.  I don't know all 
about how well ldc works with shared libraries on linux, but the 
recent ldc 0.13.0 alpha updates druntime with some better linux 
shared library support.  The commit you mentioned using was 
probably from the older 2.063.2 trunk branch: have you tried the 
newer 2.064.2 branch?

Somebody needs to sit down and iron out the kinks in either case. 
The problem of shared library loading is complex enough that 
Martin's implementation likely won't "just work".
