These releases are alpha quality and IIRC the GC is not working 100%
correctly. So you probably don't want to use GDC on windows ;-)

AFAIK there are no real limitations. ARM is 100% supported, so it
should work like any other 32 bit architecture in D. One major
difference is that GDC does not provide DMD like code coverage, we use
the GCC/gcov tools instead.
