People on OS X 10.6 don't use 64-bit audio plugins, so this 
combination is indeed missing but shouldn't be a problem. The 
transition to 64-bit occured starting with 10.7 if I understand 
correctly.

With the 64-bit binary I only support 10.7+ through LDC.

The big surprise was that DMD can produce OSX shared libraries at 
all. For good measure I've removed TLS usage I know in the 32-bit 
binaries. I haven't seem a change in behaviour.

LDC makes approximatively 2x faster code on vanilla D.
DMD forced me to write some assembly, that made the LDC binary 
slower.
