No way it is that easy.  My situation called for this:

src/web
src/phobos
src/druntime
dmd
linux/bin64/dmd -> ../../dmd/src/dmd
linux/bin64/dmd.conf  (Copy this from a released zip file.)
linux/lib64/libphobos2.a ->
   ../../src/phobos/generated/linux/debug/32/libphobos2.a
linux/lib64/libdruntime.a ->
   ../../src/druntime/lib/libdruntime.a

dmd.conf may need editing.

I am also left wondering if that is incomplete.  I probably forgot 
something.

(Noooo, you made me look!)

I don't like how much harder it is to find versions of DMD that compile 
versions of phobos.  Because they are in different repositories, there 
is no easy way to figure out which commits are in sync with which 
commits in the other repo.  I remember some amount of time recompiling 
while searching for commit versions that line up.
