I am trying this now. I've already hit a problem. The wiki makes it 
sound like the bootstrapping is optional. As I already have dmd 2.067, I 
skipped that stepped and failed when making druntime as it apparently 
assumes the bootstrapped dmd:

[druntime]$ make -f posix.mak
../dmd/src/dmd -conf= -c -o- -Isrc -Iimport 
-Hfimport/core/sync/barrier.di src/core/sync/barrier.d
make: ../dmd/src/dmd: Command not found
make: *** [import/core/sync/barrier.di] Error 127

A symbolic link to dmd 2.067 failed because it does not know about 
pragma(inline). Fine...

Bootstrapping now... :)
