If anyone is privileged enough to have gdc with 2.065 already, then I'd like to suggest trying out dub and building all packages in http://code.dlang.org using it, using various different compiler flags, and report back any bugs found (with nice minimal cases I'd hope)
Just finished building about 10 minutes ago :-) I probably won't have free time to do the all-dub-packages test in the near future but can report that it plays fine with my 2.065-requiring libraries (hap.random and Dgraph), including working as dub dependencies. (I haven't actually built dub itself with gdc yet.)
As usual speed seems on a par with LDC with the typical differences that GDC seems slightly ahead on raw number-crunching stuff and LDC seems ahead on template-heavy or range-based code (e.g. in hap.random, GDC optimizes the dice() function much better, but LDC seems ahead on the (Random)Sample class and on the range-based random distributions).
