This is an installation issue, not a bug.  What is happening is the compiler
can't find the object.di file which contains the base Object code.  You should
pay careful attention to the installation instructions at digitalmars.com, and
if you still have issues, ask questions on IRC or on the digitalmars newsgroup
here:

Could be the same problem as issue 2476, try the solution posted there.

Alright, the following change to dmd.conf did it.

DFLAGS=-I%@P%/../src/phobos -I%@P%/../src/druntime/import -L-L%@P%/../lib

I don't mind if that is necessary now while it wasn't before. It's just that the -I%@P%/../src/druntime/import isn't documented in the downloaded docs, nor in the installation doc under

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-linux.html

(I grep'ped for src/druntime through all the 2.021 tree, and paid careful attention to said web page.)

So I'd consider this a bug in the documentation and the default dmd.conf. But you're the boss...

D'oh!

My bad, it seems that the latest install of d 2 does not have the path correctly in dmd.conf.  I'll reopen for you.

I'm sorry for my knee-jerk reaction.  The message you quote is quite common for folks who did not follow the install instructions correctly, or decided to move things around.
