Don't install gdc into the system directories; put it in its own tree,
say, /usr/src/gdc/{bin,include,...}, then add a symlink from
/usr/bin/gdc -> /usr/src/gdc/bin/gdc. Don't include /usr/src/gdc in your
$PATH, but just let the symlink do its job.

GDC should be smart enough to figure out which backend(s) to invoke
based on the path it is invoked with.
