For my part I just got bored with building two sets of my packages when
there are now official tarballs from the actual GDC development project.

It used to build OK with MinGW GCC 3.4.2 when I did the GDC 0.21 builds,
but I haven't tried since. The post D 1.0 packages now all use David's.

As far as I know, all versions of GCC 3.4.x are supported by GDC.
Maybe your build errors are about something else ? (any details ?)

I used this: http://gdcwin.sourceforge.net/gcc-3.4.2-build.sh
after unpacking GCC and GDC and running the setup-gcc.sh script.
