You shouldn't combine DMD's phobos with GDC. The runtime library is a 
bit compiler-specific.
You should try it with the gphobos sources that are part of the GDC 
source tree, which should work just fine with GDC. (IIRC it also has 
some patches to make it more portable since Walter mostly seems to write 
phobos to work on 32-bit x86 Windows & Linux)
Complete gphobos sources don't seem to be included in the GDC binary 
distribution by the way, that just seems to contain a "header" module 
for object.d, for instance. (the phobos/internal/* directory is missing, 
including internal/object.d which contains the actual implementation)
