          Issue ID: 23119
           Summary: Compiling glui example results in linker error
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: wrong-code
          Severity: major
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com

According to
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/e9ba29d71b557fe079e95ee6554f116b24159bab/src/dmd/toobj.d#L524-L528
it appears the compiler intentionally does not produce working object files on
Mach-O 64 bit.

I ran into such a case.

dub run glui:example-scroll

This results in the following error:

```

```

This matches the description in the source (added with this PR:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/10680)

Note: you have to change the source for glui at the moment, or it won't build
at all. Comment out the offending version line to see the error. I have a PR to
fix this, will update once it is merged/released.
