So, you'd think I'd have tested this before, given that I'm trying to snap a 
compiler, but ... :-P

Turns out the snap-packaged LDC will fail if it's trying to compile a project 
that needs other libraries to be linked in.  This isn't surprising, of course -- 
system libraries won't be on the library paths of the snap -- but it does put in 
place a BIG constraint on what can be built and what not.

Any thoughts on how this might be addressed?

Thanks & best wishes,
