The code that interfaces with gcc needs to be in either C or C++.  There
are C++ structs/classes defined in the D frontend that while they include
all methods required for parsing/semantic analysis of D code.  They also
include methods that are used to generate the codegen for the backend
(toElem, toIR, toSymbol, etc).  In gdc, these are gcc interfacing methods
that can't be converted to D.
