This is a showstopper for shared libraries on Linux:

A few things in the runtime need to be changed as well.
OK, I see. But isn't simple linking to DSO (no dlopen calls) should be
handled by the linker itself? Or even this needs runtime support?
Long time ago, I remember, I did a few tests, and everything was fine.
Though, I am not sure that this was D2, and I lost my test code...

If DMD doesn't generate the correct PIC code if won't work (I think).
You will also get missing symbol error for the "main" function when
building a shared library. This can be suppressed by making it a week
symbol, using a gcc __attribute__ extension.
Then when the library is loaded you would need to make some
initializations like:
* Exception handling tables
* TLS
* Run module constructors
* Module info
* Probably a few things I missed
