Apparently LDC2 is being actively worked on (http://bitbucket.org/prokhin_alexey/ldc2/) and is up to date with the latest D2 reference compiler. I have not been able to get it to actually work, though I haven't tried very hard and don't remember the details of why it didn't work. Is LDC2 in a mature enough state that people should actually try to use it? (I know the main LDC page says it isn't, but that seems rather outdated, since it hasn't been updated in ages.) Has anyone else used it at all successfully yet?
Without having used it, I can guarantee it is not - I was the last person to work on it while it was in the main ldc branch, and have been following its development in the new repository - there simply hasn't been enough (commit wise) for it to be workable yet. This said, it is possible that it's on par with D1, I haven't looked in enough detail to see if that is the case though.
If you're looking for a non-dmd D2 compiler, GDC is currently the closest, I'm not sure what its current status is (I'm sure Iain will know) - I'm led to believe it can already compile a nice chunk of (its own branch of) phobos though.
