...but it compiles fine in DMD 2.065.0.

I'm using a week-old build of 4.8.2.  Is this not implemented yet?

Thanks for the reply.

I just rebuilt, and I get the same error.  Are you using the GDC 
4.8 branch with GCC 4.8.2?

My build is an ARM Cortex-M cross compiler, but the latest Arch 
Linux 64 GDC package also fails with the same error.

that's it. you have to implement it yourself then, 'cause there 
is no druntime, unfortunately.

Destroy was added to druntime years ago:
https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/blame/gdc-4.8/libphobos/libdruntime/object_.d#L2257

(It's implemented in the library, so if you want to use it on
bare-metal without druntime you'll have to rewrite it ;-)

Ah! silly me.  Thank you.  I expected a link error, though, for a 
missing library function.

destroy() is not a built-in, actually, it's just a template, 
which calls finalizer (see object.di in GDC source). so compiler 
have no way to know that it should do something special with this 
identifier.
