The GNU D Compiler ( GDC) is the DMD frontend using the GCC backend. It has not had a release in years and in general requires work to compile for the latest version of D. The last release can be found in many Linux repositories (it is suggested to use the SVN version).

DDMD    

Language VersionD1.xD2.x
Run-time Library  

The D DMD compiler ( DDMD) is a port of the DMD compiler to the D programming language. It is intended to be a "drop-in replacement for DMD." Currently not usable for compiling D programs.

dil is being developed as a D frontend written in D. It is not able to be used for compiling, but is under slow development.
