Ok, I guess I will have to use the same GCC versions as the base
distro, and try to match their configuration as closely as
possible, to avoid incompatibilities.
This is what I do on Arch Linux:

(see PKGBUILD for bash script which builds/packages stuff)
As you can see actual GDC essentials come down to this:
install -D -m755 $srcdir/gcc-build/gcc/gdc $pkgdir/usr/bin/gdc
install -D -m755 $srcdir/gcc-build/gcc/cc1d
$pkgdir/usr/lib/gcc/$CHOST/$pkgver/cc1d
install -D -m755 $srcdir/GDMD/dmd-script $pkgdir/usr/bin/gdmd
# + copy/install libphobos2.a and all runtime/phobos modules
Thanks for this! That's actually a nice idea not to call `make
install`, but instead package the compiled files directly. I'll
have to try this, should make things a bit easier compared to
deleting all the unwanted files.
