gdc does not include gdmd

[jtbx]

Describe the bug

The gdc package does not include the gdmd wrapper script, needed for compatibility with the DMD compiler.

Steps To Reproduce

$ nix build nixpkgs#gdc
$ ls result/bin/gdc
result/bin/gdc
$ ls result/bin/gdmd
ls: cannot access 'result/bin/gdmd': No such file or directory

Expected behavior

gdmd should be part of the gdc package.

Additional context

gdmd allows GDC to bootstrap the DMD compiler.

I think Iain said that gdmd was essentially a third party project, unaffiliated with GDC. But, I agree that it's useful, and it would make sense to package it in nixpkgs.

Ah, I see it's under the same GitHub org now: https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/gdmd

Oh is it? It's in old GDC archives, but I couldn't find it anywhere in the GDC source tree.

That's great, I'm not sure how to incorporate that into the gcc package though. If someone here could help that would be awesome.

Any reason why it has to be part of the gcc package, as opposed to packaged as a stand alone tool?

Good point, I'll add that in #324982.
