A not stripped hello world is 3_908_177 bytes, much bigger than the binary

DMD 2.057beta+optilink produce a 932_892 bytes hello world binary, while using
the same DMD+ulink it becomes 334_576 bytes.
I recall MinGW may include extra object files during the link process.
Try comparing against what GCC's C/C++ compiler produces.
If I compile the little D coins program here:

Using:
gdc -v2 coins.d -o coins.exe
When I run it it crashes immediately with no error messages :-(
It's a TLS issue being looked into. Offsets are being generated against
