After a long wait and many unexpected delays, there is finally

Nice work.
I just downloaded the OSX version, but I'm getting a lot of
unusual linker errors when trying to compile hello world.
Here's the output with ldc -L=-v. I'm running OS X 10.6.8.
We discovered this only pretty recently, but unfortunately this
is expected – LLVM relies on operating system support for TLS
data, and it was first introduced in OS X 10.7 (dyld support is
needed for it to work, so D2 executables generated using a newer
OS/toolchain probably won't work on older systems either). Adding
a manual TLS implementation to LLVM would be possible as a
workaround, but nobody did it so far.
I will be sure to make it clear in the release notes that at
least Lion is required.
