I think there's nothing wrong with the rationale, they're shipped with the compiler, so they belong to the compiler. Another missing configure switch is: --with-gdc-include-dir Also need to remove the logic in Make-lang.in that decides on where phobos/druntime will be. It should all be configured. -- Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0';
