It's not the linking that's the trouble, it's the fact that you'd need a D
compiler to compile this new D compiler. And most platforms don't have one
by default yet.
That's not to say that GDC couldn't be used to build said compiler. It'd
just complicate the build process.
I wonder what other not-so-prevalent languages have bootstrapped compilers,
and what their installation procedures entail? Would it be automatable
enough to be able to, say, put it in a .deb/.rpm?
