Description

Hello,

I tried to build and use DMD on OpenIndiana, a descendant of Solaris.
For this I chose the following procedure:

1. Build gdc
2. use gdc to build dmd from the github master branch (necessary because of some recent Solaris specific fixes)
3. use dmd to compile druntime and phobos from master branches
4. tried to compile dub, dmd and a simple "Hello World!" program using the just compiled dmd

With this approach I allways got the same output:

/usr/bin/ld: ./dmd/generated/solaris/release/64/../../../../../phobos/generated/solaris/release/64/libphobos2.a(sections_solaris_afa_4e2.o): in function `_D2rt16sections_solaris12SectionGroup8ehTablesMxFNbNdNiZAySQCf15deh_w
in64_posix9FuncTable':

Compiling the targets of step 4 using GDC works without problems.
