It's not a regression. Shortly after 2.067 was released, dmd got the new
requirement of a host D compiler to build. You can explicitly set which
compiler to use by setting the HOST_DC environment variable. If you also
want to build ddmd, then 2.067 is recommended as it is known to work on all
autotester platforms. In posix.mak HOST_DC defaults to 'dmd' which will
correctly pick up a dmd installation in path, as long as you don't have a
sc.ini file in the dmd src dir.
