Help with building GDC?

I've been having some memory corruption issues on DMD/Windows, and after lots of pointless debugging, I decided to try to make a time investment of porting my software to GDC/Linux and trying to catch the issue with Valgrind. Since I plan to reuse parts of the project in an upcoming much larger project, I decided to keep the source compatible with both D 2.0 and 1.x. The latest (binary) release of GDC, however, is a way behind - no "string" types, no "ref", no automatic static opCalls for structures, and other tidbits. The project is over 8000 lines, so I decided to just build a newer GDC using Gregor's patch posted above.

Try adding --disable-shared to "configure". See
