Thanks.  That is how I started out trying to fix it (Well, I used 
symlinks rather than copy the files, but basically the same).  I 
got it to stop complaining about stddef.h and stdarg.h, but at 
the third header (can't recall something obscure though) I gave 
up because I figured I was going to be adding symlinks to half 
the headers on my system! Thats when I decided to try compiling 
from scratch.

Is this issue supposed to be fixed with new versions of clang?

No I hadn't tried that.  I will give it a shot.

I am actually not urgently in need of DStep for my current 
project anymore, since my hand-written bindings seem to be doing 
the trick.  However, as this was my first bind D to C attempt, I 
wanted to run DStep and see how close my bindings come to its 
output.

Once I have my small initial project working though I am hoping 
to write bindings to a much larger library, and DStep would 
certainly come in handy there :o)

Cheers,
