Maybe I'm missing something here, but why is Mac OS X including
std.c.linux.linux ? Shouldn't it use std.c.darwin.darwin instead ?

You're not missing anything. This needs to be cleaned up. (BTW, it will be osx, not darwin, as "darwin" seems to be only used in internal Apple documentation, whereas the published stuff says "OSX".)

"darwin" is the uname(1) name of Mac OS X, sort of like the
"linux" for GNU/Linux. Darwin is also a stand-alone OS, but
that isn't used much anymore (but still available from Apple
as a CD download, or from the http://puredarwin.org project).

OSX is the new name for Apple's OSes: Mac OS X and iPhone OS.

And of course DMD can use anything, but GDC uses darwin/Unix.

PS. I personally think it looks bad, but it is slightly better
    than OS/X at least (which makes you think of OS/2 Warp)
