brew install gccafter installing Homebrew on Linux.brew install gccis because of sambamba: ldc needs cxx11, doesn't like gcc and doesn't try llvm/clang Linuxbrew/homebrew-science#257, which has been fixed by sambamba: ldc needs cxx11, doesn't like gcc and doesn't try llvm/clang Linuxbrew/homebrew-science#257, which is now a 404 error.brew install gccis meaningless. Furthermore, if this is a bug in Sambamba, then I think the Sambamba brew package should proactively prompt the user, rather than prompting the user in the Homebrew installation script.
