GDC & BBB arm

[Andrea Fontana via D.gnu]

Today I was playing around with my beagleboneblack.

Debian jessy: gdc can be installed it compiles source and output 
works.
So far so good. I'm planning to write a library to control 
input/output from board to make some experiments (my dream: write 
firmware for my custom 3d printer in d).

Anyway in order to speed up compilation, I'm trying to compile 
using a cross compiler from my linux machine

Following instructions found on wiki I built a compiler for 
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi.

gcc works (with -static)
and
gdc works (with -static) but it gives a lot of warnings:

using instead arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf (that it's the right 
target, i guess) I can't cross-compile gcc+gdc (but gcc, alone, 
works!). Here the error:

First: It's a known bug? I didn't find anything about it on bug 
tracker.
Second: why if i compile without -static flag when I try to run 
my test it says "file not found"? Am I missing any library on my 
bbb? Can I fix it?
