I've tried to compile gdc 0.16 on Kubuntu 5.10 for PowerPC (while the Ubuntu CD arrives) with gcc 3.3.6, 3.4.3, 4.0.1, and 4.0.2, and while it compiles, GPhobos, doesn't. I always get:

../../../gcc-3.3.6/libphobos/internal/gc/gc.d:264: cannot change reference to static array 'q'
../../../gcc-3.3.6/libphobos/internal/gc/gc.d:264: cannot assign to static array q
../../../gcc-3.3.6/libphobos/internal/gc/gc.d:265: cannot change reference to static array 'q'
../../../gcc-3.3.6/libphobos/internal/gc/gc.d:265: cannot assign to static array q
make[1]: *** [internal/gc/gc.o] Error 1

Any workarounds?

Dropped Kubuntu, tried Fedora Core 4, gcc 4.0.2:

../../../gcc-4.0.2/libphobos/gcc/deh.d:0: internal compiler error: Violación de segmento
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/carlos/dev/gdc-0.16/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/libphobos'
make: *** [all-target-libphobos] Error 2

(Violación de segmento = Segment violation)

You don't want to use the linux version of DMD?

I'm sure he does... if it were available on PowerPC. ;)

True, but even if I was on x86, I'd also like to use gdc.

Interesting... why?  I'm curious to hear your reasons (probably good ones).

Because I like to try different things (for my thesis I used 2 hardware platforms, 3 operating systems, 2 D compilers and 5+ C compilers), but also because I feel like if I try both DMD and GDC I'm helping more the D community, so it'd be my small contribution.
