Is the gdc package buggy or is it a freestanding compiler? For example
compile code for a bootloader/operating system you would do:
$ gcc -ffreestanding -nostdlib -nostdinc ...
Not sure if gdc uses the same arguments. And I guess for the purpose of
this script it does not matter since gettext requires a working stdlib.
But it would be nice to report it if it is a bug.
