If I am asking it's not to complain but because I may help him. If he 
needs money maybe I could do something but if he needs time cannot help.
I would like also to ask him why there are so many differences between 
original sources and the ones integrated into GCC.
Is it because of old gcc (4.0, 4.1) and could it be better with a recent 
GCC 4.3/4.4 ?

for instance if I take randomly a file, let's say aggregate.h

Original :
target_size_t structsize;	// size of struct

Modified for gdc:
unsigned structsize;	// size of struct


Wouldn't be easier to add some definitions in gcc and commit them into 
trunk ?
It would allow GDC to exist from GCC point of view and will simplify new 
release.
