I need clarifications
Another oddity: Someone has apparently made DRuntime build to
use ../dmd/generated/windows/32/dmd instead of the "system" dmd
recently. Perhaps the idea here is that I do not have to go
replacing my system dmd anymore.
Yes, that someone would be myself.

It's part of a long-lasting effort to get rid of `src/dmd`,
s.t. we can rename the `ddmd` package to `dmd`.
See:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7135
But the problem is that when I build dmd, for some reason, the
build file deletes that generated dmd at the end. Can be
resolved by moving the dmd manually to that directory, but that
is not explained at the web page. Should we tweak dmd to build
into the generated directory instead of working directory, or
tweak DRuntime to use ../dmd/src/dmd instead? Or am I missing
something?
As explained, it's a huge effort to switch from ../src/dmd to to
../generated, because in the meantime none of the existing CIs
and integrations etc. are allowed to break.
However, it sounds weird that the generated dmd executable get
removed.
How do you build dmd and what are your system details?
