I downloaded the most recent snapshot (03/03) and gave compiling 
a go. After fiddling around getting mpc mpfr and gmp3 recognised, 
I ran in to this:

In file included from 
/Users/johncolvin/Git/gdc/gcc_for_gdc/gcc/d/dfrontend/mars.c:109:0:
d/verstr.h: In constructor ‘Global::Global()’:
d/verstr.h:1:2: error: ‘n’ was not declared in this scope
  -n "2.062"
   ^
d/verstr.h:1:4: error: expected ‘;’ before string constant
  -n "2.062"
     ^
