Which version of GDC are you using?  Static foreach is a relatively new
feature, and GDC may not have picked it up yet.

GDC uses exactly the same front end as DMD (and LDC), so there is no
fundamental incompatibility. The only issue is that GDC is tied to the
GCC release cycle, so it may be a few releases behind DMD, and therefore
lack some newer features.  Eventually it will catch up, though.
