Andrei Alexandrescu:
Why can't the linking code be built into dmd? I am baffled :o).
This is possible, but a better question is how much work is required to do this?
Walter was very slowly translating the current linker from disassembly to C. If and once that program is all C, it's probably not too much hard to convert it to D, merge it with the dmd binary, and improve it in some ways.
