The list of its imports, and the imports of those imports, doesn't leave out
much. It would be nigh impossible to attempt to run that as the first program
when porting to a new architecture.

I suggest using whatever bootstrap compiler is installed on it. There's no
particular reason it should require the latest features and phobos. If the same
compiler is used to build it, it shouldn't suddenly stop working.
