Although dmd currently only supports x86 and x86_64, gdc and ldc both
support a great variety of other architectures (basically all the
architectures that gcc/llvm support). I'm not sure if druntime has been
ported to all the available target platforms, though, so you might run
into some difficulty there.

That's the plan.
