D.gnu - GDC for ARM MacOS / OSX

I tried getting GCC on my ARM M2 Mac using the homebrew package 
manager, which is how I got LDC. It gave me C++ and C and 
FORTRAN, but no sign of any GDC.

How is GCC available when it has no support for aarch64-darwin2x?

(Experimental support is available in [iains fork on 
github](https://github.com/iains/gcc-darwin-arm64) targeting the 
14.x development branch)

Iain and I have been going through arm64-darwin support in D 
run-time, mostly it's just getting cross bootstrap from gcc-11 
done cleanly.  Nothing that I expect to be made concretely 
available just yet, though I am hoping that GCC will finally get 
support for M1/M2 by the time 14.1 is released in May though.

Thankyou for your good work Iain. I don’t have a working GDC as 
the one on my Raspberry Pi AAarch64 Debian Buster dies with an 
error message ever time you try to compile. I have run GDC on 
32-bit ARM on the Raspberry Pi and in godbolt.org on x86-64.

I will get hold of an x86-64 box with Linux on it. Get round the 
problems that way.
