the origin ldc with your patch is working. but I find it is very 
limit betterC support with old version(some code will not work, 
and fixed at late dmd/ldc version).

The patched ldc not build because a lot old code Dan Olson write 
is not working any more( ldc  cpp interface changed, or llvm cpp 
interface changed).  I try to fix but never get it working. (I 
patch all 36 files)
