Wait - this is a different problem. It's not a path problem,
it's really a .di/.d problem.

DMD seems to ship .d include files for druntime now, they're no longer
shipping the .di files. The archlinux packages even do this for gdc.
Some stuff now depends on this, as having the source code available
allows more stuff to work in ctfe.

We have to fix this in our libdruntime makefile, we shouldn't
generate the .di files anymore. Instead we should directly install
the .d files.
