          Issue ID: 23092
           Summary: Cannot cross-compile from Posix to Windows
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com
          Reporter: kinke@gmx.net

Using v2.100.0-rc.1 on Linux:

$ dmd -c bla.d -target=x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
Error: `-fPIC` and `-fPIE` cannot be used when targetting windows
Error: must supply `-mscrtlib` manually when cross compiling to windows

I assume the `-fPIC` comes from the default config file.

I'm explicitly compiling only with -c, not linking, so having to specify -mscrtlib makes little sense to me.
