Yes, this is a huge pain.  libcurl is pretty common for D scripts, and not being able to use rdmd for these scripts stinks.

I'd probably call this a duplicate of https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7044 but I'll let you decide.

It works fine for me on Slackware.

I think this is an Ubuntu bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/+bug/1001576

I think they are recommending getting the proper compile flags with:

curl-config --cc --cflags
and
curl-config --libs

I think it's just that Slackware doesn't use --as-needed.

This might fix curl, but doesn't fix the general case - especially when linking D libraries with C libraries with e.g. dub.

Thanks, this pointed me in the right direction, and I figured out the following system-wide workaround:

# echo 'gcc -Wl,--no-as-needed $*' > /usr/local/bin/gcc-dmd
# chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/gcc-dmd
# echo 'CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-dmd' >> /etc/dmd.conf
