Afaik DMD for Win64 requires the MS linker, so good luck without Visual Studio then. Same goes for LDC on Win64, although an LLVM COFF linker is under development. Serious system programming on Windows without MSVC and its C runtime? Not really an option; MinGW appears to be a dead end and never really fitted the Windows eco-system.
MSVC toolchain is required to link 3rd-party C++ code compiled with MSVC, mingw links c runtime just fine.
