LDC 0.14 (DMD 2.065+LLVM 3.5.0)
pulled from the ubuntu 15.04 vivid main universe
LDC is not broken altogether, it builds a minimal Hello program.
It's a link issue anyway, may have more to to with DUB? OTOH the very same DUB binary is used with the 2nd compiler.
Searching for this error leads to linker line (-lz) resolutions I have no control over.
