Well, is Phobos found in /usr/local/bin/../../src/phobos (i.e. 
/usr/src/phobos)? I'm assuming not. You need to fix the dmd.conf that you use 
so that it points to where the source files actually are. So, 
%@P%/../../src/phobos needs to be changed to 
/path/to/where/phobos/src/is/whatever/that/might/be. The same goes for 
druntime and the lib64 and lib32 directories (which should be the paths to 
where libphobos.a is).
