Well, it wasn't quite my first time. ;) I had managed to get GDC to
build with 4.7 before, just not git HEAD.

Ahhahaha... I must be growing old. Took what felt like a few days off
following GDC developments due to being busy with other things, and come

Well, 2.062 is still better than whatever gdc-4.6 was based on, which
IIRC was really old.
