What happens if you use the environment variable approach?  i.e.,

export DC=ldc

in an initially empty build tree before cmake is executed.  The
environment approach was the one that was historically recommended
when I first started using cmake, and it continues to be the approach
I use for C (CC), C++ (CXX), and Fortran (FC) to specify the compiler
(and optionally flags for that compiler).  The only mention in
the cmake documentation I can find for CMAKE_C_COMPILER is in the
cross-compilation documentation.  I have never used that to specify the
C compiler in a normal build environment, and I am not sure it is (or the
corresponding CMAKE_D_COMPILER is) meant to be used in a normal build
environment.
