Regarding the gdcmac/gdcwin/gdcgnu packages, they are
now offering the *same* GDC binaries as David provides.

D 1.0 was the end of the line for the deprecated builds,
like GCC 3.4.2 for MinGW and GCC 3.3 for Mac OS X 10.3.


Going forward, these are the supported targets for each:

gdcmac: Mac OS X 10.4 Universal, Apple GCC 4.0 (Xcode 2.4)
         from gdc-0.22-macosx-universal-gcc-5363.tar.bz2

gdcwin: MinGW32 i386, MinGW GCC 3.4.5 ("Candidate" 20060117-1)
         from gdc-0.22-mingw32-gcc-3.4.5.tar.bz2

gdcgnu: GNU/Linux i686/powerpc, FSF GCC 4.1.1 (20060524) *
         from gdc-0.22-i686-linux-gcc-4.1.1.tar.bz2 /
              gdc-0.22-powerpc-linux-gcc-4.1.1.tar.bz2

That is, whatever targets that the "dgcc" project offers...

Note: Fedora calls its GCC targets "i386-redhat-linux"
and "ppc-redhat-linux", while Ubuntu instead calls them
"i486-linux-gnu" and "powerpc-linux-gnu". So installing
the GDC files shouldn't replace any system GCC binaries.
(GDC uses "i686-pc-linux-gnu/"powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu")
The duplicated files are: libgcc.a, crt*.o and collect2
