Hi Lars,

First of all here's a patch to add the psp as a target to the
configure script. I extracted it from the PSP toolchain patches. This
patch is against svn tango-0.99.7, but it's really simple and probably
would work on other versions as well.
I applied it in lib/compiler/gdc (with -p1)

Now having done that. I tried to run 'build-gdc-x.sh psp', but
unfortunately it makes configure think that my host is also a psp.

--------
./build-gdc-x.sh psp

checking host system type... mipsallegrexel-psp-elf
checking target system type... mipsallegrexel-psp-elf
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d

checking for psp-strip... psp-strip

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
--------

So I moved on to compiler/gdc/configure to try and get it to work

A minor problem is that even though I'm cross compiling configure
assumes that the "gdc" the executable is DMD, so I bypassed that with an
environment variable
so in the and I ran:

--------
GDC=psp-gdc ./configure --prefix="$PSPDEV" --target="psp"
--enable-phobos-config-dir=/somewhere/myphobos-config-dir
