There are some other lib differences too, such as the version(Unix)
and std.c.unix.unix that are missing from the DMD library version ?
There's also a lot of similar portability fixes spread out over the
library, including some work for supporting 64-bit in the future...

So in many aspects, GDC GPhobos is a portable version of DMD Phobos.
