Excellent news! I'll try it on ppc64 Linux too (Fedora Core)

Question: It says "The MacOS X universal binary package
requires XCode 2.4.1 or the equivalent version of cctools."
But the GCC version (5363) is from Xcode 2.4 (not 2.4.1) ?
(as far as I know Apple hasn't released gcc-5367 sources)

Except for some strange (temporary?) build error with soft-float,
it built just fine for powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu (with FC5/PPC*)
Could post some binaries later if wanted, the config diffs were:
http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/gdc-0.23-powerpc-config.diff (Phobos)

Only tried "Hello World", but it seems to be working as advertised.
(i.e. -m32 gives you a 32-bit and -m64 gives you a 64-bit binary)

So you can probably add "PowerPC64" to the list of Linux platforms!

* The FC5/PPC installation supports both ppc and ppc64 platforms
  unlike FC5/x86 which has one "i386" and one "x86_64" install.

Spectacular!  :D

Xcode 2.4 is probably enough, but I built with 2.4.1 so that is what I listed.

Okay, just a slight misunderstanding - I thought you meant what
source code to use, but you were talking about which tool to use.
All cool then, using Xcode 2.4.1 tools and Xcode 2.4 sources.

Not that I'm rebuilding it anymore anyway, I was just curious...
(gdcmac/gdcwin/gdcgnu packages now providing the dgcc binaries)

Thanks!

Any suggested installation procedure on linux?

Extracting the linux 64-bit binary gives:

dmd/
  bin/
  include/
  lib/
  lib64/
  libexec/
  man/
  share/

The obvious choice of
mv dmd/bin/* /usr/bin
mv dmd/include/* /usr/include
mv dmd/lib/* /usr/lib <<< ooops!

That last one will cause conflicts.  So what's the recommended procedure?

Ah, cool!

I want to try this under Windows x64, but I have no idea how to install GDC. The installer on sf.net are only "partial", what else do I need? MSYS? Tried that once, didn't work.

I just unpacked it to ~/opt/gdc and added ~/opt/gdc/bin to my PATH. Seems to work fine...
