Well, technically not "supported" yet, but I've added it, thanks! ;)
As coincidences goes, GCC-4.5.2 has just been released too. If anyone beats me to it, please give that release a try first.

But at the same time my natural unix instinct tells me to act alarmed at the sight of suggesting --prefix=/opt/gdc. ;)
