the best thing, of course, is to kill that ancient toolchain altogether
and switch to binutils, they are already working for mingw and they are

needed: drop dmc and build dmd with mingw. and with dmc all it's tools
will go.
besides, this will allow makefile unification, as alot of "posix.mak" can
be reused for mingw builds. i did that myself while hunting for
multithreading heisenbug. the side effect of switching to mingw was
faster dmd.exe: compiling phobos took only 2/3 of time comparing to dmc
version.
What? How did you do that and what problems did you encounter?
Does it work with regular DMD/Druntime/Phobos or only with Aliced[1]?
[1] I only saw it mentioned once in the forum. What exactly is it?
