I've added

buildType "release" {
         buildOptions "releaseMode" "optimize" "inline"
         dflags-posix-ldc "-flto=thin" "-Xcc=-fuse-ld=gold"
}

to my dub.sdl and built (on Linux) as

    /usr/bin/dub -v run --compiler=ldc2 --build=release

but neither the flag "-flto=thin" nor "-Xcc=-fuse-ld=gold" is propagated to the ldc2 call (at least no printed on stdout).

What's missing?

Neither

dflags-dmd "-xxx"
dflags-posix-dmd "-xxx"
dflags-linux-dmd "-xxx"

has any effect on my build (in dub.sdl).

I didn't know dflags-* was a thing, and I can't find it in docs either.

Maybe you are looking for

dflags "..." platform="..."

That's how it works in the JSON package description file.

Ahh, you're right.

Thanks!
