The 'dlang.org' project is the website. It deals with building dmd only 
insofar as you need a compiler to build the website. If your goal is to 
build dmd, don't bother with anything 'dlang.org'.

Component: dlang.org

This is issue 14915, a regression in 2.068: 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14915

As a workaround, you can manually revert the changes done in PR #1050.

Though, repeating myself, if your goal is to build dmd, don't bother with 
dlang.org.
