No luck; it still references the runtime.
I've been stubbing out the runtime; it seems to be about done
except for references to some functions I can't find. The symbols
are __moddi3 and __divdi3; I assume they're C math library
functions, as they're generated from code that uses div/mod
operations. It also seems to be unable to properly find
Object.toString() after I changed it to be nothrow, which I
needed to do because I'm stubbing out the exception handling
routines; it seems to have changed the mangling. It's a bit of a
mess in there; I'm glad I don't always have to hack up the
runtime :).

Yes. nothrow is part of the name mangling, because it's part of the signature. In the long run, toString will be @safe const pure nothrow, but it's not there quite yet (const correctness and Object is still being sorted out would be one reason; a number of key string-related functions need to become pure for another). But if the compiler is expecting a specific signature, then that's the signature that you're going to have to give it, or the linker's not going
to find the function when it goes to look for it.

The problem is that if I leave the try/catch block, it's referring to stubbed-out functions, and if I get rid of it, LDC complains that toString() isn't nothrow. I guess I'd just better leave it in and hope that toString() never gets called. I could throw in an assert(false), which I'll have wired up to just cause a kernel panic.
