This applies only to a small part of the changes. The larger 
share of them will actually need adaption of the upstream 
frontend sources for a very good reason if we want to have a 
truly shared codebase.

As for the size of the diff, don't forget that LDC doesn't enjoy 
the luxury of having IN_LLVM sections in the upstream source – 
the difference in amount of changes actually isn't that large:

---
$ fgrep -rI IN_GCC dmd/src | wc -l
49

$ fgrep -rI IN_LLVM ldc/dmd2 | wc -l
57
