The symlinks for travis-ci are missing, but this is intentional for now.
Travis-CI uses a very old Ubuntu which makes running the standard
binaries difficult and 5.x/6.x don't work on travis yet. Martin Nowak
mentioned a workaround though (we need to make sure travis-CI uses the
libraries (libatomic, libstdc++) shipped with the binary toolchains
instead of the system libraries) but I'll have to update the dlang
installer script as the last GDC binary release changed the library
paths.

Then the installer script should also be updated to fetch the
toolchains from the new download locations so we don't need these
symlinks anymore.
