We still do not know what portions of the frontend is being ported over

toSymbol; toCtype; toDt (this latter one I am in the middle of removing
from gdc) and implements them to instead build GCC trees, the code
itself also being in C++.

These are all methods defined in D Front-End, and rely on calling and
interfacing with the gcc backend.  Re-writing these in D is not an
option, as require access to GCC macros.

If you're removing these functions does it matter which language they're written in ?
