Thanks, I didn't realize that the zip comes with the full source :D.
The patches apply cleanly, but I found number of issues though.

(The DMD version I used is 2.047, the one downloadable from the site,
while my box is running FreeBSD 8.1/x86)

When compiling dmd, the linker complains about missing C++ symbols.
Changing the linker from gcc to g++ in freebsd.mak seemed to solve
the problem.

When compiling druntime, a static assertion triggers during linking:

src/rt/llmath.d(286): Error: static assert  (0x1p+63L == 0x1p+52L) is false
gmake: *** [lib/libdruntime.a] Error 1


Finally I was unable to compile phobos, as I encountered errors in
different modules, including references to freebsd related files that
aren't in the zip I downloaded.
Am I supposed to use a different version of the compiler/libraries ?
If so, is it publicly available ?
