My entry for the #dbugfix campaign[1]:

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17508

This makes building ddox / scod documentation impossible on Windows.

Reporting date: 2017-06-15

There exists a similar optlink issue (duplicate?) also in linking vibe.d, reported 2015-10-17: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15213

I'd file the bug with DUB that you are forced to use optlink even when specified not to. That's more likely to be fixed than a bug in Optlink, as it is programmed in assembly. Any bug found in optlink, a limitation is usually just added into DMD for it instead of fixing the bug in Optlink.
