This should work if you pass the static library files to the
linker. It is exactly its job to select what's used from the

phobos2 as a static library (but this would also work if
linking against phobos2.dll)
BTW I have an example here [1], but it's for FreePascal and
under linux, and in the end i've decided to use dynamic
library (but with static linking) [2]

The only thing I found so far is, Delphi does not support
linking .lib files.
(Mac os 64 bit compiler though seems to support it).
I understand from you, that FreePascal is able to link .lib
files.
Was my impression false and I can link .lib files with Delphi?
No (sorry for the false hope) I also find this (‑‑linker-option
for iOS only).
Very surprising.
Looks like you would have to use a dll. Note that with static
linking of the dll
cdecl; external 'mydll';
You don't have to use a loader.
