Glad to hear there's work in progress. Last time I tried to configure gcc + gdc on AIX on PowerPC, I found out it was explicitly disabled in the configure script, and I didn't dig any deeper to find out why or the potential work involved.

I guess that was quite some time ago?

Back then we had a shell script hack that was called by the GCC configure script and parsed the target triplet to set these versions.

Fortunately that's long gone and we now simply add some D specific code to the platform configuration files in gcc/config/ . The shell script hack would have never passed the GCC review ;-)
