Dmd for now can only work with omf libs and link only 32 bit

Erm nope, DMD works fine with COFF libs (-m32mscoff) and 64-bit
(-m64) too; it's been shipping with the LLD linker and
MinGW-based libs for a while, LDC followed suite but uses
different MinGW-based libs. The only drawback is that these
libs require a VC runtime installation for *running* generated
binaries (but no MinGW). But Visual Studio or the Build Tools
are purely optional for both compilers, and mostly interesting
to link against the static MS libs to prevent the MS DLL
dependencies.
Static libs for imports are taken from a pelles c compiler and
can be redistributed, i'll add a notice and license files.
Okay that's *very* interesting, and I highly doubt they are
allowed to do so. See recent
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19760.
Seems that i was sleeping for too long and missed the moment when
they both migrated to mingw libs.
Okay, then there's really no advantages and rights for
distributing this project. I just made those builds for myself
for years and decided to share it.
Thanks for a notion and the link.
