Could the GDC front end remain in C++ and changes be folded in anyway? These changes do not need to be direct translation of the D code.

The code that interfaces with gcc needs to be in either C or C++. There are C++ structs/classes defined in the D frontend that while they include all methods required for parsing/semantic analysis of D code. They also include methods that are used to generate the codegen for the backend (toElem, toIR, toSymbol, etc). In gdc, these are gcc interfacing methods that can't be converted to D.
