Hi all,
  I think kinke mentioned somewhere that LDC master can build itself on Windows, but I am having troubles. It can compile itself (after applying a small fix, PR submitted) but it crashes while building druntime.
Is my build setup perhaps broken?

Thanks,
  Johan

Hi,

I just tried that, too. It seems to build a few files from druntime, bit crashes early. The top of the stack shows _d_newclass, so I suspect it could be GC related.

DMD is not supposed to use the GC, so as long as it is being disabled properly, that would be rather surprising.
