Package: libphobos-4.1-dev Version: 0.25-4.1.2-23.2 Severity: normal
Here is the relevant VERBOSE=1 output (with line wrapping and separating invidual commands by <return>) from a make command that has been configured with cmake to build a shared D library.

In any case, I notice a number of other libraries in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1. Most of them are static, but I have never run into this sort of linking issue before with one of the other gcc compiler components. So whatever is done for those other static libraries is probably what should be done for libgphobos.a to allow shared linking with gdc. If any additional tests are necessary to help you figure out this linking issue, I would be happy to perform them. Alan W.
