I have had some problems, like not being able to find a reference to "util_progress"(is it in the DMD backend?), so I just commented it out in the one function that it appeared in. Also an assert failure in statement.c. :P But commented out the assert for now.

Okay, so I figured out a way around this - kind of.
In phobos/Makefile.in, line 244 is this:
internal/cast.o std/string.o internal/memset.o std/math.o \
when you change it to:
internal/cast.o std/string.o internal/memset.o \
GDC compiles, but it doesn't work. When you try to compile, it gives a bunch of undefined reference errors to std.math functions. So I would assume the problem is somewhere in math.d.
