Bug#914725: gtk-d fails to build from the source, due to unrecognized command-line options

[Pablo De Napoli]

Source: gtk-d
Version: 3.8.4-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Dear mantainer,

This package fails to build with ldc ( 1:1.12.0-1), due to unsupported
command line options. See the following build log

The version of my compiler is

ldc2 --version
LDC - the LLVM D compiler (1.12.0):
  based on DMD v2.082.1 and LLVM 6.0.1
  built with LDC - the LLVM D compiler (1.12.0)
  Default target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
  Host CPU: haswell
  http://dlang.org - http://wiki.dlang.org/LDC

(built from the sources as indicated in bug #914692). I have also
built from the sources other requiered packages (in order to ensure
that my D toolchain is consistently built using the same compiler
and shared libraries), like gir-to-d( 0.16.1-1 ), dh-dlang (0.6.1)
and deafult-d-compiler-0.6.1).

Also (probably this an unrelated bug): if dmd compiler from Digital Mars happens to be installed
on the system, the build system uses that instead of ldc, and the building process fails likewise.
This time the build log is
