was some news about -fPIC beeing fixed but no real confirmation.
Turns out there was a bug where EBX was not set correctly when calling a
function that existed in a shared library. This bug was fixed. So we're
ready to try again at creating a shared library with dmd.
On x86-64 the PIC code is working fine, but there were some relocation
issues left.

I'm looking into wiring things up with the runtime,
but it requires quite some changes.
One thing I don't have a good answer too is how to handle registration
of a shared library loaded during runtime. Apparently we don't want
to synchronize all threads whenever a library gets loaded/unloaded.
