I tried mine a while back using betterC but given I was already 
running without druntime the only noticeable difference was I no 
longer required these hacks;

//---
// So we compile without druntime
extern(C) __gshared void* _d_dso_registry;
extern(C) __gshared void* _Dmodule_ref;
extern(C) __gshared void* _d_arraybounds;
extern(C) __gshared void* _d_assert;
extern(C) __gshared void* _d_unittest;
//---
immutable auto VIDMEM_BASE = 0xFFFF8000000B8000;
static immutable ubyte egaBlack = 0;

GRUB worked as before for both 32 and 64 bit. But that doesn't 
mean much because my kmain was already extern(C) so the linkage 
was fairly typical.
