Ok, thank you. I'll have a look. It looks like there have been quite some changes (GitHub move, the GCC preparation script amongst others). I don't expect the checked out version to always work, and I can not rule out that I don't know what I do either. :) So I must rely on instructions that are expected to work with a certain version of the GCC sources. GDC is usually working well for me once I get it compiled and the only D compiler that produces highly optimized code for what I want.
