I installed "ldc" from the Package thingy (GUI), which means having used 
yum in the background, I guess. The exact version currently used is

   ldc-2-57.20140305git6e908ff.fc20 (32-bit)

I think the question is more like: How should the actual "ldc" Tool 
behave? What should happen when a user has a version of "ldc" installed 
in his system, but tries to build a project with dynamic libs involved?
