I'm tracking the "master" branch of DMD, as the "merge master

Maybe it is better to wait for an official gdc/gcc release then.

The assumption is you already know how to build gcc from here.
Ok, thanks. I will give it a spin in a few days and see what
happens. What I'd like to try out is AVR/Arduino as a target, but
I see that avr-gcc is a separate project. Maybe not compatible
with gdc.
Expressions should default to 16 bit integers for performance,
but that only affects the standard library I think. So it could
work with the better-C subset… Although for a start one could use
32 bit (with slow performance). Actually, I would be excited just
to see a LED blinking... :P
