An example:

GtkD is built using singe (gtk-one-obj.lib) or separate (one per source 
file) object files (gtk-sep-obj.lib).

Than main.d that imports gtk.Main is built using those libraries.

Than zeroCount utils is built and launched over resulting files:
--------------------------------------------------
   Zero bytes|     %|    Non-zero| Total bytes|        File
      3628311| 21.56|    13202153|    16830464|gtk-one-obj.lib
      1953124| 15.98|    10272924|    12226048|gtk-sep-obj.lib
    127968798| 99.00|     1298430|   129267228|main-one-obj.exe
       743821| 37.51|     1239183|     1983004|main-sep-obj.exe
--------------------------------------------------

These zero byte counts are similar for dmd 2.054-2.057.

So one has to use very slow per-file build to produce a good (not 100 
MiB) executable.
No matter what *.exe is launched, its process allocates ~20 MiB of RAM 
(loaded Gtk dll-s).

This issue is fixed in dmd 2.058.
But no information about its source is given.

AFAIK there was no changes with BSS in dmd 2.058. And GtkD doesn't use
__gshared arrays at all.

Have you looked at the map file?

If not, try my map treemap visualization tool:

The example with built binaries for dmd 2.057 and dmd 2.058 (~10 MiB,
uncompressed ~250 MiB):
http://deoma-cmd.ru/files/other/huge-build-gtkD-full.7z

One can use Vladimir Panteleev's treemap visualization tool with *.map files
from the archive (as for me, it hangs Chrome).
