On my system, when I do:

gdc *.c *.d
./a.out

I get:

segmentation fault

I can instantiate classes fine with normal D, but as soon as the extern(c)
stuff creeps in bang - no classes for me!

Can you please explain what's wrong? And how I can fix it?

use 4.1 because I have had random crashes with nested functions in 4.2.*

You're using a C main and haven't initialized the D environment. 
Initializing D from C is quite difficult, I would recommend using a D 
main (such that D is initialized automatically) and using it to call the 
primary C function.

successfully, that would be a super-human feat. The only way I've 
managed to even come close to doing something like that is build all my 
source objects separately into *.o files and link them together with GDC 
_and_ invoke the D runtime by calling rt_init or whatever. But that is 
for Tango, Phobos is probably different.
