I've polished my own build-script/build-instructions. So far, 
this is the only thing that will work on a PowerMac with Mac OS 
X. It does not work on Cubian. It does not work on Debian. It 
*might* work on Mac OS X with intel, but I do not know.
My build-script/instructions will result in a toolchain 
supporting C/C++/D AND stdlibc++.
Thus I can now finally build my old projects AND have D at the 
same time; no compromises (except from that the compiler is only 
built once, not twice, but that's considered acceptable).

Even though my guide will not work out-of-the-box on Linux or 
other systems, it might serve as an approximate how-to / way to 
get past problems (I've got 5 years of experience in making ARM 
toolchains).

If using the script (or using the guide as a script), 3 optional 
parameters can be supplied:
1: workdir (a temporary directory for containing sources and 
builds).
2: prefix: For instance /usr/local - default is to install in 
$workdir/Install
3: toolchain name; If building a package, this will be appended 
to prefix: /usr/local/myTools
