DMD does require the sources, or at least the sources you'd like to have
inlined. GCC requires all the sources used to be compiled with a special
switch:
"When using multiple steps, it is strongly recommended to use exactly
the same optimization and machine-dependent options in all commands,
because conflicting options during compilation and link-time may lead to
strange errors."

So the best way to build release version(assuming two-phase build)
should be:
1. Synchronize DMD compilation switches with DMD link switches(-release
-O -inline).
2. Pass all the project sources in one DMD cmd line, compile.
3. Link produced object file with other libs.
Am I correct?
Does single-phase(compile-link in one command line) give optimization
gain with the DMD?
