I have only done Universal builds with gcc-5341 on MacOS Intel.  The 
build environment on my G5 seems to be messed up so that I can't make 
i386 executables.  gcc-5363 fails on x86_64 stuff.  Hopefully, 
installing Xcode 2.4.1 will fix these problems (downloading now).

Here are the build steps I use:

     src=`pwd`/gcc-5341

     tar xzf .../gcc-5341.tar.gz
     cd $src/gcc
     tar xzf .../gdc-src.tar.gz
     cd $src
     ./gcc/d/setup-gcc.sh
     mkdir -p build/obj build/dst build/sym
     gnumake install RC_OS=macos RC_ARCHS='i386 ppc' TARGETS='i386 ppc' \
	SRCROOT=`pwd` OBJROOT=`pwd`/build/obj DSTROOT=`pwd`/build/dst \
	SYMROOT=`pwd`/build/sym >> build-log 2>&1 \

     # To make the binary package...

     cd $src/build/obj/obj-i686-i686
     $src/gcc/d/package/simple.sh --macos \
	--with-install-root=$src/build/dst

     # The binary packages are left in /tmp

The setup-gcc.sh script will add 'd' to --enable-languages.  If you did 
this manually, the rest of the patching of build_gcc may have failed... 
  There is a bug in that lets this patch fail, but still says "GDC setup 
complete."

If you still get errors, please send me a log.
