Trying to compile an empty main file:

$ cat main.d
void main() {}

$ gdc main.d
gdc: fatal error: -fuse-linker-plugin, but liblto_plugin.so not found
compilation terminated.

I can add a symbolic link to /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.1/libgcc.a in /usr/lib but is this the right fix?

Unfortunately Dicebot stopped maintaining the D packages for Archlinux. I'm not sure about other packages, but the GDC package is currently orphaned (no maintainer)...
