You mean yet another makefile?

It's onerous enough already to duplicate all makefile changes 
across the current set. Yet another makefile for a rarely-used

It sounds like whatever version you have doesn't yet have the 
necessary Phobos/Druntime changes. You should try building from 
the git version.
