After updating to the latest git master, trying to build dmd aborts with this error:

-------
ERROR: Error: pointer cast from `dmd.mtype.TypeTuple` to
`immutable(void*)**` is not supported at compile time
       called from here: `super.this()`
dmd/mtype.d(6228):        called from here: `super.this(cast(ubyte)37u)`

make[1]: *** [posix.mak:110: dmd] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/d/dmd/src'
make: *** [posix.mak:8: all] Error 2
-------

What gives?

What is your bootstrapping compiler? Maybe something changed there.
