Yes, they do. I have been using your package (w.o. test patches, i.e., test? f) to build beta6 and it works a charm. The new ldc D compiler is great and I am using it every day. Note to others, we still need ldc 0.17.2 in Guix because the ldc 1.1.x compilers are written in D and we need to bootstrap from the last C version. Pj.
