Also, having a "make install" target would help with Linux packaging...

Currently it all have to be pieced together with cp and chmod, and then
copy all the Phobos import modules with something like a "double tar" :

     (cd dmd/src/phobos; find -name '*.d' | xargs tar c) | \
          (cd "$(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/lib/phobos"; tar xo)

All the needed commands should be in the previously offered Linux SRPMS.
