druntime does. There was some shuffling around with that this release. Most of 
druntime no longer creates .di files anymore but rather just copies over the .d 
files. I don't know exactly what the deal is with core.memory and core.bitop, 
but there were issues with them if the imports directory wasn't properly 
cleaned out (and druntime's makefile's clean target didn't clean it out 
properly for a bit there), resulting in errors along the lines of what the OP 
reported. It probably ended up with a .di and .d file next to each other, but 
I'm not sure. I suspect that the Windows installer fails to remove the old 
stuff if you don't uninstall first, so you end up with a bad install if you 
don't uninstall first, but I don't know.
