There is a plan for GCC 4.8 to contain D support. Is anything 
still blocking that, or is it going to be ready soon?

That's why the last entry in the roadmap he gave a link to is "Submit
GDC for inclusion in GCC"
The roadmap is pretty much the answer to your question.

Heh, I'd gleamed that and went to re-read that and just read the 
second to last:

"Submit all patches to GCC proper for inclusion in GCC."

and just thought my first read was wrong.

All alterations to GCC that are required for D need to be submitted
separately. As it currently stands, this will be x86 support for
'naked' functions, and something along the description of
callee_pop_float_return.

"Re-structure project directories to match that of GCC"

can you give some more information about that? Will druntime, phobos1
and phobos2 all get own subdirectories in the gcc folder? I'll try to
make druntime buildable out-of-tree, so it'd be good to know.

Btw: when gdc moves to git(hub), will we have separate repositories for
druntime & phobos? This way we could make the gdc druntime/phobos forks
of the dmd repositories and pushing changes upstream should be easier.

Yeah, D1 and D2 will have to be split from each other, as the library
folders share the same name, thus conflict.

The new directory structure will be:

/
... /gcc
... ... /d
... ... ... /dfrontend
... /libphobos
... ... /core
... ... /etc
... ... /gc
... ... /gcc
... ... /rt
... ... /std



 Btw: when gdc moves to git(hub), will we have separate repositories for
 druntime & phobos? This way we could make the gdc druntime/phobos forks
 of the dmd repositories and pushing changes upstream should be easier.


The problem with this is, if you are building gdc, you have to
clone/download THREE repositories/tarballs and move/extract them to
the correct places, which are in varying locations in the gcc source
code.

Git submodules might be useful here, that's what the ldc
developers do. See
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/tree/master/runtime
but I have to admit I don't know anything about git submodules.

Git submodules can definitely take care of this. Of course is a little
more tedious to use than having just a plain monolithic repo, but it's
not that bad.

I'm not sure they will help if you have to do this:

"and move/extract them to the correct places, which are in varying 
locations in the gcc source code"

It might help somewhat but not completely.

Is there a special reason why you want to keep druntime & phobos in one
directory? If you just don't have the time to split druntime & phobos,
I could do it. I've already partially done this when
adding support for out-of-tree builds to druntime (That's working now,
but I need a little more time to clean up the patches and test multilib)

That is how it currently looks in the GCC source directories once you
get past the ./setup-gcc.sh stage.  It would be great if druntime was
a subdirectory, so if you have time to do this before I get round to
it, patches to the configure scripts are always welcome. :-)

I created a new repository here: https://github.com/ibuclaw/gdc

Though I'm not so sure about having my login account attached to it,
so may will create a new account dedicated for it.
