Well, the post was a bit incoherent because getting all this 
stuff working is. I was searching for ldc and ran across some web 
site that had only the sources(same for gdc).

The point of it all is that things seem to be a bit 
discombobulated and make D look bad.  Professions won't use D if 
it can't be used professionally(not that I'm a pro, just saying).

Why isn't there a proper binaries for ldc and gdc that work out 
of the box like dmd?  There used to be. What's up with all this 
arm-linux-genuabi crap? When one opens up the archive all the 
files are named that way too.  There is no explanation of what 
that means. Did some kid write this stuff in his basement or is 
this suppose to be serious? Do people think about the end user 
when creating this stuff or is it just a eureka moment 
"Lightbulb: Lets create some spaghetti!".

I would have thought things would have gotten easier and more 
logical but that doesn't seem to be the case.
