As you can see here:

http://dgcc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dgcc/trunk/?view=log

the dmd frontend used for gdc hasn't been updated for over half a year.
Commit message was "Merge DMD 1.030 and 2.014".  

Merging the newest dmd frontend into gdc is the main maintenance work 
that has to be done for gdc.

The newest frontend code is included in the release file.
http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.1.039.zip
Though, an incremental update following each release might be easier.

Here is also a quick howto for compiling dmd (just in case):

It would be great when gdc is up-to-date again!

Best wishes,
Moritz
