D.gnu - Build errors with GDC

Hello all,

I'm trying to build GDC from source, following the instructions here:
http://gdcproject.org/wiki/Installation

I'm doing this on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit version, and I'm using the GCC 4.6.3 
sources and the --enable-multilib option.

If I follow the exact make command used in the instructions,

     make -j2 2>&1 | tee build.log

... then no matter what the number of cores specified, I get an error:

     *** No rule to make target `libcommon-target.a', needed by `gdc'. Stop.

If I just run a 'make' command without other options, I get a different (but by 
the look of it related) error,

g++  -g -O2 -DIN_GCC   -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wcast-qual  -fno-common

Can anyone advise?  Am I simply using a wrong GCC version, or is there another 
issue here?

Thanks and best wishes,
