That is because object.d seems to be missing or badly mangled:

_D6object6Object6toHashMFZk -> uint object.Object.toHash(this)

The "uint" above should have been ulong for 64bit systems.

That is the beauty with X86_64 systems: they allow running 64bit and 32bit
applications side by side. David has said in the past that he wouldn't
declare GDC 1.0 before 64 bit were to be implemented.
