gdc doesn't compile on mingw, but the problems are easily solved. I 
tried to compile it with gcc 3.2.3 and 3.4.2, using the sources for 3.4.2.

First off, mingw headers don't define alloca. Why, I don't know. So, 
every file that uses it has to add:

#ifdef __MINGW32__
void *alloca(size_t);
#endif

Also, gcc complains about stricmp (in dmd/gnuc.h) having both C and C++ 
linkage. It's solved by surrounding it with #ifndef __MINGW32__.

I think that was it. I don't know if it works, because I can't really 
finish making gcc 3.4.2 (it can't build libstdc++3: it complains about 
the C++ preprocessor, which is trying to find in /lib/cpp, which doesn't 
even exist). Has anyone had luck building gcc 3.4.2?

I'll keep trying to get it done, but that's what I've found so far.

tried that independently, because of the reported malfunctioning on 
cygwin. I got stuck at the point that `pipe' and `fork' are unknown to 
gcc and glibc is not ported to mingw. In the hope that the bash-version 
mingw uses contains both, I even not got that version of bash compiled 
under mingw. So mingw is a really minimalistic gnu version :-(

I'm unsure but it might help to dowload/install/use msysDTK, and msysDVLPR.

Really? Mine has it in malloc.h - and it #defines it to be a 
builtin-call instead of a library function.

Well, I couldn't find it anywhere back then, and that's what I had to 
do. But since using mingw was so disappointing (compared to cygwin or a 
real unix), I already uninstalled it.
