What does that mean ?

D produce omf obj files, right ?
and omf is not supported by any of the gnu tools working
on the win32 platform.

gcc is not the right example.

Is it a good idea to suggest that D produce coff obj ?
This will probably give you some (or a lot of) work
to add the necessary support to your tool set,

but, D is a modern compiler, using an obj format that
is not a standard anymore.
