Reading up on the ld-wrapper code - that is exactly what happens. A
gold-wrapper can do same.

I think, like with rustc, I need to wrap the ldc compiler build with
ld-wrapper and the ldc tests with gold-wrapper (yet to be written).

gold does not honour LIBRARY_PATH so that means we'll have to use
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or pass the lib path(s) on the command line. 

Does this make sense? If it does we can make an attempt.
