Maybe this should be true, but I don't see a build_by_default=no setting in config-lang.in (in gdc_frontend.patch.gz) to make it so. > --- gcc-4.8-20120617/gcc/doc/standards.texi 2011-12-21 17:53:58.000000000 > +0000 > +++ gcc-4.8/gcc/doc/standards.texi 2012-04-22 17:11:38.553880036 +0100 > @@ -289,6 +289,16 @@ a specific version.

Referring to Go in a section about D doesn't make sense.... I don't see entries in contrib.texi in this patch. I'd also expect contrib/gcc_update to be updated to handle timestamp ordering for generated files in libphobos.
