Sorry, probably a stupid question, but could the build on the PI have died because of too little ram? Anyway, building a compiler on the raspberry pi worked for me, although it took a long time to build. I created a new wiki page with build instructions: https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/wiki/Raspberry%20Pi
