I think there is a confusion. The code that I quoted used to 
workk with gcc-4.8 (4.8.0) source package of Debian/ubuntu, since 
it did *not* include a src/gcc/d/ subfolder and a src/libphobos/ 
subfolder.

Things changed when the package was updated to gcc-4.8.1, as the 
changelog show it:

http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/changelogs//main/g/gcc-4.8/gcc-4.8_4.8.1-2_changelog

"* Build D and libphobos packages from this source package."

That makes the gcc-4.8 (4.8.1) package to include a src/libphobos 
and a src/gcc/d folders. The code that I quoted in the beginning 
will fail with asking to manually remove the d sources form the 
gcc tree.

The setup-gcc.sh should be modified accordingly: it does not try 
to remove the folders libphobos/ and gcc/d, still complains about 
their presence afterwards.

BTW, what version of gdc does the gcc-4.8 (4.8.1) package ships 
with?
