--- Comment #1 from RazvanN <razvan.nitu1305 at gmail.com> ---
We have now transitioned to the build.d file and as far as I understand the
behavior is that if you do not have a host dmd you need to manually specify
AUTO_BOOTSTRAP=1.

If I understand correctly, what this enhancement request is asking is tha if
HOST_DMD_PATH is empty, then AUTO_BOOTSTRAP=1 should be set by default. I would
argue that this is actually counter productive if you want to use a specific
host but to forgot to set HOST_DMD_PATH. Right now, if that is the case, the
compiler will nicely highlight that out. If we were to implement what is asked
here, that might lead to head scratching behavior.

Closing as WONTFIX.
