This small series add supports for the D programming language, available in
GCC since version 9.1.

Could you also add support for supporting an external toolchain that provides the D language ? It's mainly a matter of:

 - tweaking the external toolchain code to copy the right libraries

 - adding a blind Config.in option to indicate that the external
   toolchain provides D language support

 - adding a visible Config.in options in the custom external toolchain
   package to ask the user if the toolchain provides D language support

 - a check to verify that if the user has declared the toolchain as
   supporting the D language, it is really supported

Thanks,

Thomas

Given that traditional external toolchain providers do not ship
D-capable toolchains yet, I'll try using a toolchain generated with
crosstool-ng.

Well, you can also generate a toolchain with Buildroot, and then import
it as an external toolchain in Buildroot.
