Hmm. This is probably my problem, as I'm using gcc-4.7.2, so I'm on the
gdc-4.7 branch. I did notice that 'libphobos' doesn't appear anywhere in
the Makefile generated by configure, or anywhere in the build log. :)
How do I fix this?

I just tried building with gdc master, but it dies horribly in idgen.c
with screens of compile errors (I think caused by missing struct
definition somewhere, but why this happened I've no idea. Now I'm trying
again with the 4.7 branch).
