Anything that runs out of the box with no show stopper is an 
improvement from what we have now.

I've been trying too to build a working GDC with the intent of creating 
a D for Xcode package including the compiler, debugger, linker and my D 
for Xcode plugin with some project and file templates all together for 
easy installation. I want to distribute a universal binary compiler 
capable of PowerPC and Intel output, but I haven't had much success in 
compiling it up to now.

My current approach is to compile four compilers (PowerPC to PowerPC, 
PowerPC to Intel, Intel to Intel, and Intel to PowerPC) and merge 
executables into universal binaries using lipo. But I haven't been able 
to compile anything but the first variant (PowerPC to PowerPC). Do you 
have any tip for doing the rest, as you seem to have acheived it 
somehow for gdcmac?
