Congratulations and thanks. :-) Related note -- what are the recommended/required gcc sources to use? Is 4.9.0 adequate or does this update require the gcc trunk?

I'm champing at the bit to performance test a recent project of mine which uses some bleeding edge language features, so anything that gets me closer to being able to compile it with GDC is excellent news. My thanks to all involved!

(I haven't actually built dub itself with gdc yet.) As usual speed seems on a par with LDC with the typical differences that GDC seems slightly ahead on raw number-crunching stuff and LDC seems ahead on template-heavy or range-based code (e.g. in hap.random, GDC optimizes the dice() function much better, but LDC seems ahead on the (Random)Sample class and on the range-based random distributions).
