Linking problems aside, if GDC on Windows produces proper DWARF debug 
info, you can debug the GDC compiled code with GDB and a graphical 
frontend such as DDT+CDT, you don't need Visual Studio.
But, like you said, the Windows/MingW port of GDC is not maintained so 
it's all just theoretical as things stand.
