Well, it's a message produced by the frontend and it's hardcoded... We
could change this in the frontend, but as we work towards a unified
frontend we need a better solution.

I assume you haven't used --disable-libphobos when configuring gcc?
If you have moved the gdc directory out of the location which was
specified with --prefix, that's the problem. gdc is currently not
relocatable, I'll provide a fix for that this weekend.

If you didn't move gdc I'm not sure what's happening. Please provide a
bug report including the output of gdc -v.

IIRC there is no way to print the search paths gdc uses, we should
probably hook that up to "-print-search-dirs".
