rdmd currently ignores DFLAGS. These flags should be treated like all the other compiler flags.

Hmm I think the problem is more in DMD not respecting everything from DFLAGS:
However, this has been in master:

$ cat > foo.d << EOF
void main(){
    import std.stdio;
    version(Foo)
    {
        "foo".writeln;
    }
    else
    {
        "bar".writeln;
    }
}
EOF

$ dmd -version=Foo foo.d && ./foo
foo
$ DFLAGS="-version=Foo" dmd foo.d && ./foo
bar
$ DFLAGS="-version=Foo" rdmd --force foo.d
bar

(with ~master this correctly yields foo for all commands)

But it looks like rdmd's caching doesn't include a hash of DFLAGS.

$ DFLAGS="-version=Foo" rdmddev foo.d
foo
$ DFLAGS="-version=Bar" rdmddev foo.d
foo

(so I'm renaming this)

Argh, apparently this hasn't been fixed in master and DFLAGS is only looked at when -conf= is set:
