Using rev 198, which includes support for Mac OS X 10.5, there are linker problems with almost all non-trivial programs. For example, compiling this (same code as issue #1145):
---
ulong foo ()
{
return cast(ulong) (cast(ulong) 1176576512 + cast(float) -2);
}
void main ()
{
assert(foo()==1176576510);
}
---

This issue was worked around with a Leopard-specific package, in gdcmac.
Raised against a now unsupported version of gcc for the current gdc development - for mac osx, you now have to get the source from macports rather than using the old apple-gcc.
