Oh, it does. On the ones using Intel, too...
(at least I think it does, no bug reports yet)

It is, at least if you want the new things with templates and what not.
You can still run the "traditional" D programs, of course. (DMD 0.140)
But it would be nice if GDC could catch up with the newest D language.

Just meant that it is still useful, even while it haven't done so...

The problem being that GCC 4.1.0 is now shipped as the default compiler
on for instance Fedora Core 5, which means that you right now can't even 
compile GDC on those machines without using a "compat" (GCC 3) compiler.

GCC 4.0 works though, so it should be OK for Mac OS X 10.4 - and Ubuntu.

It needs a new* homepage anyway, but I definitely hope David returns!

We will have to see how it goes, and also hear from Gabe on "gnu-d.org"
