Is there a way to see what build.d is doing from the invocation of make? The only way I found was to do surgery on src/posix.mak and add --verbose to:

	$(RUN_BUILD) $@

Thanks!

Solution: stop using the legacy Makefile wrapper which was only left in
the source repository to ease the transition for dmd packagers and CI
systems.
tl;dr:

./src/build.d -v

How would that work with AUTO_BOOSTRAP?

Auto bootstrapping just downloads a (somewhat arbitrary) dmd version to make setup a little easier/predictable, but you should have a dmd compiler installed on your system, if not:

. $(~/dlang/install.sh --activate dmd)
./src/build.d -v

If your question is about ensuring that DMD is built with the currently selected version for bootstrapping, you can still do:

./src/build.d -v AUTO_BOOTSTRAP=1

Cool, thanks!

make -f ***.mak VERBOSE=1 ....
