echo $PATH

The PATH environment variable holds a list of paths where executables 
are stored, to invoke a command without a path, it must be in the list.

export PATH=/build/Mingw32/usr/bin:$PATH

gdc should now work (if not, find the correct location of the gdc 
executable, I don't recall it - I think I got it right above). If it 
works, and you would like to make the change permenant, add the above 
line to the end of the .bashrc file in your home directory. As a side 
note, the "correct" place for custom, non-distribution software is in 
/opt, so you would install to /opt/mingw32 instead of /build.
