digitalmars.D - [Feature Request] - DMD debug build distribution

My project seems to be crashing DMD sometimes on its compilation. 
Would be nice to have a DMD debug build for distribution, it 
attempts to call JIT Debugger for dmd.exe right before it starts 
linking. I'm using Windows 10.

compiling DMD takes just a few seconds on recent machines, even 
compiles in about under 10 seconds on my old laptop, so I would 
recommend building it from source.

You can find build instructions on 
https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_under_Windows

Using digger it seems you can simply enable it by turning on 
components.dmd.debugDMD in the digger.ini file (that you can copy 
from the sample in the git repository)

Nope, does not compile here.

`dmd.backend.blockopt.compdfo` cannot call ` system` function

If you can reduce the test case that causes dmd to crash, we can fix it. Please 
report it to bugzilla!

Sorry, I have no faint idea on how I could reduce a project that 
big, I actually believe I'm hitting an edge case, the same way I 
was hitting before the package.d, which I just circumvent by 
changing the file name.
