I'm not sure if anybody ever used GDC/DMD/LDC on a big-endian system.
It could be an endianess issue somewhere in the code. I debugged a
misaligned-access bug in the frontend some time ago, bugs like these can
result in the weirdest effects.

It should compile on the cubieboard though. What exactly failed?
