I recall MinGW may include extra object files during the link process. Try comparing against what GCC's C/C++ compiler produces.

It's a TLS issue being looked into.  Offsets are being generated against the wrong section.

This is great, the binaries now work. Thanks for your hard work Daniel.

Btw, it seems GDMD is hardcoded to D1? -fd-version is always 1, there's a -v1 switch for GDMD but no -v2 switch. Should I file this?

Here's what I can add on line 434 in GDMD to make it work:
    } elsif ( $arg =~ m/^-v2$/ ) {
        push @out, '-v2';
