When I clone master of

https://github.com/nordlow/phobos-next.git

and test it with DMD 2.076 as

/usr/bin/dub test --compiler=dmd

linking fails as

I don't understand what's wrong with the module

https://github.com/nordlow/phobos-next/blob/master/src/zio.d

When I compile it separately I don't get the linker error.

/usr/bin/dmd --version: DMD64 D Compiler v2.076.0-dirty
/usr/bin/dub --version: DUB version 1.5.0, built on Sep  1 2017

Making the contents of the module zio.d empty has no effect...
