Most cases work for me now. Only the LoadLibrary+DllMain tests still produce a status 988 (access violation in dll_process_attach...dll_fixTLS or rt.lifetime.__getBlkInfo if Runtime.initialize is used instead). It also links now without the manual _tls_callbacks_a definition (_tlsstart and _tlsend in plaindll.d is still needed or it will crash during initialization). Btw. many thanks for your commitment to the Windows gdc version. It currently the only working 64-bit/Windows solution and I'm working on a D project for my company that absolutely needs to support 64-bit - it would not be possible otherwise.
