My understanding is druntime is not ported to that platform.

Too limited in resources.

Getting a static library with all dependencies would not help you here.

But yes, GCC does understand D, using GDC which is built on top (same 
frontend as DMD and LDC).

You are either stuck using -betterC which does not support ``extern(D)`` 
classes, but does have ``extern(C++)`` classes. Or by using a custom 
runtime which you will likely have to write yourself and will likely 
break between compiler releases.
