It doesn't work like this. The process of building DMD starts 
from going to https://github.com/dlang/dmd and then reading (or 
at least skimming through) a number of web pages and clicking 
through them to navigate to the right place with the appropriate 
build instructions:
* https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
* https://wiki.dlang.org/DMD
* 
https://wiki.dlang.org/Starting_as_a_Contributor#Building_from_source
* https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_under_Posix

This kinda violates the 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-click_rule, which isn't a 
gospel, but still has some merit. All of this together is surely 
doable, but takes way longer than 26 seconds and the CPU speed 
isn't the bottleneck.

And I'm even not talking about building D compilers on unpopular 
marginal operating systems, such as Windows, which barely have 
any support at all:
