But it's possible to run Xcode 2.5 on Leopard, just as you can run the
32-bit version of the compiler on a 64-bit host. Not optimal, but works.

But the latest packages there (r229) should work with both Leopard and
Tango, unlike the GDC 0.24 release that had some problems with those...

That's weird, first time I heard of checksum problems with those PKG.

It's available as a tarball, "ldc-0.9-mac.tar.bz2", including Tango.
