LDC2 Status
LDC2 passes almost all phobos unittests and tests from dmd suite on linux x86.
Also it probably works on freebsd, but it's broken on other platforms and
architectures.
I currently work on linux X86_64 port: ldc2 already compiles druntime and
phobos, although there are some serious issues with GC (which make ldc2 quite
useless on 64 bits).

Also I got the feeling that LDC2 has been hastily updated to the newest dmd
frontend without verifying each upgrade step by step and now things are subtly
broken.
When I started to work on ldc2, it was in terrible state (it did not even
compile). So, yes, I decided to update ldc to the latest dmd frontend at the
time. But after that every frontend merge was thoroughly tested using phobos
unittests and dmd test suite.
I need a hand with writing a good building instruction. If you want to help,
send me a letter, I'll talk you through building process.
By the way, druntime and phobos with ldc2 patches can be found here:

Still can't get druntime to compile. The readme file in runtime/ is
horribly outdated. I cloned your github repo, and tried a few things,
but I have no clue where I should put it, or how to build it. It looks
like the make file is still for DMD.
