for me, this is a set of ugly-loking scripts which basically does what
wiki told me about building gdc. i.e. i created "workdir", copied the
whole gdc dir there (with git info), unpacked gcc there, created
"objdir" to build out-of-tree and so on. then i built gdc and installed
it in /opt/gdc. i also patched out building g++ compiler.

now if i changed something, i'm just doing 'make' in "objdir" and it is
reasonably fast. i can also invoke 'make' in various subdirs (i.e. in
phobos subdir, for example).

if i need to test the whole thing, i'm just doing 'make install', it's
not that slow too.

it's kinda lame, but it works for me.
