Yes, I can solve it for myself that way, but it becomes somewhat of a barrier of entry to ask users to please change their global settings to be able to compile my project.

Is https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20699 very difficult to solve? I already set up build configurations like `application-lowmem` for the purpose, they just effectively don't do anything yet.

Can a dmd.conf in the working directory append to DFLAGS from the system-wide /etc/dmd.conf? Instead of overriding?

> DFLAGS+="-lowmem"

Right now I am unable to reproduce the error (2.095), but I only did a casual test. Regardless, please close this if the issue is known and having an open bug report about it only amounts to noise. --
