There is another gdc in repository gdc-v1 too.
Any ideas?

I think that GDC version is just very old and it's D1. I'm not sure if
recent GDC releases work on SPARC though.

 cc1d: warning: command line option "-imultilib" is valid for

This is fixed in newer GDC versions, but this should not cause real
problems anyway, it's just a warning.

 hello.d:9: Error: undefined identifier writeln, did you mean 
 function writefln?

Looks like there's no writeln function in D1?

 ./a.out
 Bus error

There shouldn't even be a a.out file if that writeln error happened
before?


TLDR: You probably want a recent D2 compiler but I don't think any of
the D2 compilers actually supports SPARC right now.
