FYI I'll also try to continue updating the frontend in gdc-4.7 and 4.8.

That's good news! I've been unable to get 4.8 to build in my Debian system (probably due to some system- or configuration-specific breakages somewhere... Debian multiarch isn't playing nice with GCC's build scripts). Having the latest frontend available in gdc-4.7 would be a big help to me.

You were never able to get the latest to build on top of gcc-snapshot as per my instructions? :-(

I can repeat them here now if it'd be helpful -- I've been building GDC like this for a long time now, and never had any issues (bar a couple of makefile errors that Iain quickly fixed).

What errors? No errors. Try pulling again. :o)
