Hmm. gdc-4.8 *is* rather recent, so maybe it hasn't percolated down to
your distro yet. The first release of gdc-4.8 (AFAICT) was 03 Jun 2013
(4.8.1-1). The latest release is 4.8.1-6 (09 Jul 2013).

You could add the 'unstable' branch to /etc/apt/sources.list to pull it
in, probably, i.e.:

	deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib

Not sure how it would interact with the rest of your distro though. It
may be safer to try adding 'unstable' to your existing 'deb' line that
points to your distro's FTP servers; they may have synced with the main
Debian archive recently enough to have picked up gdc-4.8.

Alternatively, if it ends up being a mess, you could download the .deb's
directly from the Debian FTP archive:

	http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-4.8/gdc-4.8_4.8.1-6_amd64.deb

Replace "amd64" with your architecture. The downside of this approach is
that you'll have to hunt down all the dependencies manually, and there
can be a lot of them for gdc.

It *could* actually be easier for you to build GDC yourself; for this,
check the recent thread in the d.gnu forum for explicit instructions
(make sure you follow each step carefully, as a broken GCC/GDC build can
be a hair-tearing frustrating experience -- speaking from experience).
If you run into trouble, ask on the forum there and we'll try to help
you. :)
