Does it get as far as building libphobos/libdruntime ?

I would be interested in, if possible:

1) Build logs or exact errors of what ICE's / crashes you are getting
from the compiler.
2) A copy of the generated phobos-vers-sym file from the libphobos
build directory.
3) A copy of d-confdefs.h from the gcc/d build directory.
