Hi,

Sorry, I've only just seen this.  OSX port of gdc is being worked 
on, it's not so trivial to get set-up, as the last supported 
version of gcc on OSX is 4.2, and the current release of gcc 
depends on version 5 or newer.

There's a gcc-7.2 bootstrap tarball, but the library needs a 
little more testing.

Iain.
