I've been building the DMD trunk on OSX with no issues, and, although
I am using 10.8, I'm using the SDK for OSX 10.9, which includes clang
in place of GCC.

Actually, wait, I just looked at my build script (created when I was
still using the 10.8 SDK), and I actually do:

cd dmd/src
make -fposix.mak MODEL=64 WARNINGS="-Wno-deprecated -Wstrict-aliasing
-Wno-logical-op-parentheses"
make -fposix.mak MODEL=64 install
cat ../../install/bin/dmd.conf | sed
"s/--export-dynamic/-export_dynamic/g" > ../../install/bin/dmd.conf2
cat ../../install/bin/dmd.conf2 | sed "s/-lrt/-ldruntime-osx64/g" >
../../install/bin/dmd.conf
rm ../../install/bin/dmd.conf2
cd ../..


So it appears that it's just a matter of the argument being passed
slightly differently....
