GCC itself is fairly bug free, but then again I don't push it that hard. The 
runtime library, more specifically the math functions, are erratically buggy. 
(This is why Phobos has its own implementations of those functions, rather than 
simply forwarding to gcc's library versions.) The ld linker on OSX is pretty 
awful, as in costing me much time in devising workarounds.
