it is? Not for me, unless I'm missing something.
Sorry, I made a mistake. Dmd simply invokes the system C
compiler and the linker that it uses. I set CC to clang and
build dmd trunk with it. Clang uses gold, which is what led me
to assume it was the default. But I just checked and gcc, the
default C compiler on Arch, uses bfd ld, so it depends on what
you use as your C compiler.

Well, as far I know, it does invoke gcc and gcc does use the
ld. I see this with -v flag. What am I missing? I'll check out
this llvm-based linker. If it's the linker which I've hear they
are planing to replace gcc ld it's a big step.
See above, I was wrong.
As for llvm-based linkers, there are a couple going around. The
one you're probably thinking of is lld:
