          Issue ID: 16592
           Summary: Building dlang.org does not work without a preexisting
                    dmd installation
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dlang.org
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: andrei erdani.com

I've went through the following steps with a colleague:

1. Clone and build dmd using AUTO_BOOTSTRAP=1
2. Clone and build druntime
3. Clone, build, and unittest phobos
4. Clone and build tools
5. Clone and attempt to build dlang.org

At the last step the build didn't work. Building only the html,
druntime-prerelease, and phobos-prerelease did work.

We need to make sure the whole toolchain works without assuming/requiring a
preexisting dmd installation.
