I've had trouble building Phobos with 2.051 so I upgraded to the latest and greatest from svn. I'm getting this while attempting to build Phobos:

std/random.d(603): Error: forward reference to type ()
std/random.d(603): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression
(2463534242L) of type long to ()
Error: no size for type ()
std/random.d(766): Error: template instance
std.random.XorshiftEngine!(uint,32,13,17,5) error instantiating
make[1]: *** [generated/osx/debug/32/unittest/std/datetime] Error 1

How can I climb out of this?

False alarm. 2.052 does work, but I needed to make clean to remove the previous build in order to get it right.

FWIW std.datetime still doesn't unittest on my OSX.

Okay. That's a weird one to fail on. That test gets the list of time zones on the system by getting the list of time zone files in /usr/share/zoneinfo, and then it verifies that it can load each of them. And "+Version"? That's just plain weird. Is there any chance that you could send me a compressed tarball of the /usr/share/zoneinfo on your Mac? Those files are supposed to be standard, but it does seem like Apple has done some funny stuff with them.
