Yeah, I noticed that's an alternative. But since I've never done that
that's way I said "might take a bit longer than I expected".

Apparently it can generate 32bit binaries just fine, the problem is some 
header files are not properly ported to handle both 32 and 64bit. A C 
Hello World application works without a jail. As well as any D 
application (at least the one I tried).

Seems Mac OS X is the only platform that handles this well, due to the 
use of universal binaries.
