Once you fix DMD so that it can cross-compile (or use GDC/LDC), 
this is no longer an issue. Well, if you do not have a C 
toolchain for cross-compilation on your system, linking would be 
a bit tricky, but it would still be doable.

It might be a mild inconvenience, but certainly not an 
insurmountable problem.
