D.gnu - GDC D compiler for PocketPCs is here!

I've finally managed to get this cross-compiler to make a working "hello 
world" program that runs on my PDA.  The source for the program is follows:

import std.file;

void main()
{
     std.file.write( "doutput.txt", "Hello world!" );
}

I have uploaded more information, the sources, and the binaries to a 
temporary file sharing place at the following URL:
http://www.bigupload.com/d=F902F09C

I am hoping someone will hook me up with dedicated hosting for this. 
I'm also hoping this can be merged into the main GDC sources at some 
point.

It is probably very buggy now, and I haven't tested very much of it at 
all.  I'll be trying to get it up to v0.19 (it's GDC 0.18 now) in a 
while, and debug what I can.  I can probably debug Phobos stuff, but the 
compiler errors are a bit much for me.

Enjoy.

Hello,

i have try to compile 
void main() {}

but i get the following error message:

Under debian sarge and under ubuntu 6.0.6 
I have copy the arm-wince-pe directory to /usr/local and i have extended
the PATH Variavble.

Argh, I can't replicate it, even when I move it my other system.  The 
catch is that I've used both systems to develop this, so maybe there is 
a missing dependency that I don't know about.

Btw, I compiled and used this on kubuntu 6.0.6.  The other system is 
coLinux running Debian.

In a while I'll make another coLinux Debian w/ fresh filesystem, and see 
how that goes.

Those error messages look like the ones I got when the arm-wince-pe 
assembler was given x86 assembly code.

I believe the garbage collector is broken for this right now.  It 
crashes during collection.  I'll be debugging that.
