Maybe it is better to wait for an official gdc/gcc release then.

Ok, thanks. I will give it a spin in a few days and see what 
happens. What I'd like to try out is AVR/Arduino as a target, but 
I see that avr-gcc is a separate project. Maybe not compatible 
with gdc.

Expressions should default to 16 bit integers for performance, 
but that only affects the standard library I think. So it could 
work with the better-C subset… Although for a start one could use 
32 bit (with slow performance). Actually, I would be excited just 
to see a LED blinking... :P
