Yeah, besides you could cross compile to LLVM IR and use whatever 
LLVM tools exists on the target platform from there. Besides, you 
probably have access to an emulator if the target platform is 
really weird.

The move to D based refactored D compiler is very promising. 
Kudos to the people behind this effort!
