The dmd backend changes are not needed for gdc, but the druntime
changes are. So shared libraries will be available sometime after 2.063
was released and merged into gdc.

IIRC the gdc master branch should still work on gcc-4.8 so updating
should be easy. I want to update gdc-4.7 and gdc-4.8 soon anyway but
I'll probably wait till gdc passes all unittests.
