Is there any way of knowing the correct snapshot to compile with at any given time? It's a pretty lengthy trial and error process to find out....

I normally update my gcc snapshot once every fortnight.  If there's any compilation issues let me know.  But I hardly run into any, if at all...

Personally I just use whatever is the current gcc-snapshot package in Ubuntu/Debian, which has always worked for me, but YMMV (and that assumes you use Debian/Ubuntu or that your OS has an equivalent package).

I downloaded the most recent snapshot (03/03) and gave compiling a go. After fiddling around getting mpc mpfr and gmp3 recognised, I ran in to this:

In file included from /Users/johncolvin/Git/gdc/gcc_for_gdc/gcc/d/dfrontend/mars.c:109:0:
d/verstr.h: In constructor ‘Global::Global()’:
d/verstr.h:1:2: error: ‘n’ was not declared in this scope
 -n "2.062"
  ^
d/verstr.h:1:4: error: expected ‘;’ before string constant
 -n "2.062"
    ^

This is on OS X 10.7, patch 2.5.8, gmp 5.0.5, mpfr 3.1.1, mpc 1.0.1, GNU Autoconf 2.69, GNU automake 1.13.1, flex 2.5.37, GNU Bison 2.7, GNU patch 2.7.1, gcc/++ 4.7.2

I guess that would be stupid OSX doesn't have an  -n switch for echo.

Feel free to send a patched Make-lang.in file. But I have an idea of what instead to use.

LGTM, I'll try it out when I get back to my OS X machine later.
