As far as I can tell, this isn't generally true. For example,
dmd may get fixes/changes in name mangling, making it
incompatible with old object files. Since you've already
cleaned everything, this doesn't seem to be the issue here.
But don't assume that a newer dmd is guaranteed to work with
older object files. It isn't.
And dmd2.exe does not recognize that an object file is out of
date? Seems like a bug to me...
So, the issue was I was not using phobos updated libraries.
Should dmd2.exe not complain about such things? They are easy
checks and can solve some hard to track bugs by simply storing a
a date in the files and comparing to what it is expecting.
