 Duplicate: #50372.

 As noted in the other ticket the development is now at
 https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC and supports all branches of GCC,
 including the development version (6) and the latest release 5.x.

 This port hasn't been touched for five years and the last "functional"
 change was almost nine years ago (r28291). Most likely nobody has a
 working version of the port anyway. It breaks even on 10.7, not just on
 10.11 (I didn't test 10.6 or earlier yet).

 My suggestion would be to simply delete this port that still depends on
 GCC 4.1 and wait until someone submits a port for GCC 5.3 (potentially
 allowing multiple versions like gcc-4.9, gcc-5, gcc-6 etc.). I'm almost
 sure that the current port won't help towards the new port in any way at
 all.

 Victims of removal of gdc include:
   * wxd (one of the problems with that port is that support for wxWidgets
 3 is somewhat questionable even though some old notes claim compatibility
 with wxWidgets 2.9.2, but I wasn't able to test anything at all,
 [https://sourceforge.net/p/wxd/git/ci/master/tree/ latest commits] are
 from 2011)
   * D bindings of plplot (just a variant)
