not really seen anything packaged up?

Oh thank you.
I did a search but somehow missed that

LLD has a nasty bug when using large static data members. 
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38645

I got access violations in the resulting binary when using it for 
linking complex apps. Be aware.

You could probably also just run the windows version of the compiler 
under wine. I think I remember hearing of people doing that.

That will probably work, but actually running the program that you build is
another story. I actually originally developed the Windows-specific portion
of std.datetime using wine, and I ended up with some bugs in my code,
because the way that wine behaved when running it did not actually match
what Windows did like it was supposed to. However, what dmd itself does has
so little to do with the Win32 API that building code using dmd shouldn't be
a problem.
