After DMD is built, other things keep getting built by DMC. I get more than a few errors due to having an eof character on the first line of some .h files, or something like that.
I've never seen such an error. Do you have the details?
Building DMD, Phobos, and druntime on Linux is so easy and straight forward. It all works as expected. What's up with building DMD on Windows?
For historical reasons, the Windows makefiles take a different approach in many aspects. One important point is that they are limited to the feature set of the Digital Mars make implementation, which is extremely basic.
For a build tool which can build D and all its components from source today, you can have a look at Digger:
