default installation of Phobos. What option do I need on the commandline
to tell it to use a different path to Phobos? -I only appends include
paths *after* the default paths, so it'll always pick up the default
installation first (plus it will cause import conflicts since there will
be two modules claiming to be std.stdio).

try -nophoboslib and/or -nostdinc. However, to use the git phobos
version with gdc you also have to compile it with gdc. I'm not sure but
I think the phobos source in gdc has gdc specific changes, at least it's
that way for druntime.

That's necessary and expected for druntime. Each compiler is going to have its 
own version of druntime, so you _need_ GDC's version of druntime. However, at 
least in theory, Phobos should be the same across compilers. I don't know what 
GDC is currently doing though. Regardless, if you're using another version of
Phobos, you're going to need to build it against GDC's version of druntime.
