digitalmars.D - Compiling the frontend (I know it's not supposed to compile as-is but...)

Not sure if I'm posting this to the right newsgroup...

I'm trying to compile the D frontend with DMC and I'm running into a problem
before getting to the backend stubs I need to write.  I'm using the following
windows batch file to build (I'll convert to something like make or a-a-p
later):

dmc -cpp idgen.c
idgen
dmc -cpp impcnvgen.c
impcnvgen
dmc -cpp access.c array.c attrib.c bit.c cast.c class.c cond.c constfold.c
dchar.c declaration.c delegatize.c doc.c dsymbol.c dump.c entity.c enum.c
expression.c func.c gnuc.c hdrgen.c html.c id.c identifier.c impcnvtab.c
import.c inifile.c init.c inline.c interpret.c lexer.c link.c lstring.c macro.c
mangle.c mars.c mem.c module.c mtype.c opover.c optimize.c parse.c root.c
scope.c statement.c staticassert.c stringtable.c struct.c template.c tocsym.c
todt.c toir.c toobj.c typinf.c unialpha.c utf.c version.c

The idgen and impcnvgen stuff is working fine, but on the last line I'm getting
this result:

    virtual void toCBuffer(OutBuffer *buf, HdrGenState *hgs) = 0;
                                                     ^
init.h(41) : Error: ')' expected
    void toCBuffer(OutBuffer *buf, HdrGenState *hgs);
                                             ^
init.h(61) : Error: ')' expected
    void toCBuffer(OutBuffer *buf, HdrGenState *hgs);
                                             ^
init.h(81) : Error: ')' expected
    void toCBuffer(OutBuffer *buf, HdrGenState *hgs);
                                             ^
init.h(101) : Error: ')' expected
    void toCBuffer(OutBuffer *buf, HdrGenState *hgs);
                                             ^
init.h(118) : Error: ')' expected
Fatal error: too many errors
access.c:

attrib.c:

If you're not reading this with a monospace font, the carets are all pointing
to the last character in "HdrGenState". At this point I'm somewhat lost as to
what I'm doing wrong.

Actually, when I piped that output to a file, it messed up the order of a few
lines. The real output I got is this:

Double thanks... I started debugging DMD and in about 5 minutes I found why Descent was behaving different from DMD (global.gag, global.errors, etc.). That would have been a nightmare without being able to debug DMD...
