Hi GDC

I've been able to build gdc-12.1 on ubuntu20 using
```
wget http://mirrors.concertpass.com/gcc/releases/gcc-12.1.0/gcc-12.1.0.tar.xz
tar -xvf gcc-12.1.0.tar.xz
cd gcc-12.1.0
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc12 --enable-languages=d \
--enable-libphobos-checking --disable-multilib --program-suffix=-12
make -j6
make install
```

Now I'm looking to repeat the process for mingw64. I see that I'll need an older version of gdc first, say 11.3. So that's okay, I'll build it twice, but in general I'm wondering if:

1. Anyone has built gdc-11 in the mingw64 environment since it seems a few patches are required?

2. How we might go about creating a pacman package for gdc-12 since it requires an existing D compiler?

The first one is just an information request since the old PKGBUILD files are on github, but the second one is a bit more daunting. Without a previous version of gdc to build gdc it might be hard to get a mingw64 package accepted.

Thanks
