Thanks a lot for your help, Robert.

I tried to compile ldc and the runtime (checked out from trunk) in
release mode, too, but it seems that I did something wrong.

In the ccmake interface, I set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to Release and removed
the -g switch from D_FLAGS (leaving -w;-d). After building, I compiled
my test programm using

ldmd -g -debug test.d

When running list in gdb, I got

(gdb) list
1	../sysdeps/x86_64/elf/start.S: No such file or directory.
	in ../sysdeps/x86_64/elf/start.S

When leaving the -g switch in D_FLAGS, list in gdb will show me the
contents of dmain2.d again.

Do I have to change any other configuration flags?

Best regards,
Timo
