We could.
I'll lay down the hint, dmd compiles the source, not gcc. And
although gcc
may be invoked during a certain special stage of compilation,
its actually
just a driver to call a certain toolchain program that is
outside of gcc.

What we're saying is that dmd, The Digital Mars D Compiler, is
written in C++ and is thus built by GCC/G++. We can tell by
looking at the Makefile that DMD doesn't build itself.
