Yes. But it would be nice to not be dependent on glibc. If we could use musl it would be a lot easier to create our own tool chain (and get full support for static liking).
Yes, please.
Avoiding the need to download the C tool chain to be able to use D. I've heard that many times, especially on macOS: "oh, you need to download Xcode to use D?".
Last time I checked you only needed the Xcode command line tools (which are small), not the whole thing. In any case, what would you propose to be bundled as the linker (if we can't depend on the one provided by Xcode)?
