I've just tried another potential source of error, which occurs when generating (not linking) the static LTO library. That requires generating the static lib with LDC (`-lib`), as it uses LLVM's librarian/archiver with bitcode support. When using MS lib.exe, I get that LNK1107 error you've mentioned (with an object file prefix in the error msg though, unlike your example). So VisualD might use the MS librarian unconditionally in your case...

That's a shame, I'll try using dub later.

Please file a bug report at issues.dlang.org for compoonent visuald.
