A week ago I got my new shiny AMD64 machine. The only drawback
is, that the language becoming my favourite one (D of course) is
not yet x86_64 capable, yet.

Nevertheless I downloaded gcc-4.0.2 and gdc-0.17 to see how far I
could get, building a GDC compiler. The building process fails
at a cc1d stage at an "assert" statement of
classinfo->struct_size == CLASSINFO_SIZE. I was suprised, that
CLASSINFO_SIZE was hardcoded to 0x3C IIRC.

OTOH I want to have a native 64 Bit compiler, and owning a AMD64
machine I'd like to help and participate where possible.

And how far is it from GDC becomming an offical part of GCC, as well as 
full gdb support?
