I think once you get past the horror that is building gcc for your target 
platform, the big issue remaining is that druntime needs to be ported. 
You'll hit the same issue with a D->C translator, so it might be better just 
to work on the actual runtime.  Doing a proper gdc-based compiler should get 
you some other nice things, like platform specific attributes/versions, 
inline asm, and a better debugging experience.
