Maybe this should be true, but I don't see a build_by_default=no setting

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.
Are you volunteering to be appointed maintainer for this front end by the
