Starting with gcc-12, gcd needs a D compiler to bootstrap, but gcc-11
does not allow to build the necessary runtime on all platforms (Cygwin
for instance). How is the prospective bootstrap sequence on such

No, I don't have an account on that bugtracker.
It is possible that the build would perhaps work, but the configure
check for the presence of a D compiler requir

I did that and it indeed doesn't build.

I think I tried that as well and failed, but thsi was likely on an
earlier gcc-11 or even g
