There are now three tools: dmd, gdc, and ldc. Currently with the above
it looks like you are using the dmd tool and replacing the dmd with gdc.

There is not yet a d tool which tries a specific sequence according to
some priority.  I couldn't decide on a Windows/OS X/Linux best priority
order for DMD, GDC and LDC so I ran away form trying to implement it.
This needs doing.

I build LDC from it's repository, but I have not tried this approach
with GCC and hence GDC. I guess I am waiting for GDC to be in GCC 4.8
and for that to be in Debian and/or Fedora.
