Thankyou for your good work Iain. I don’t have a working GDC as 
the one on my Raspberry Pi AAarch64 Debian Buster dies with an 
error message ever time you try to compile. I have run GDC on 
32-bit ARM on the Raspberry Pi and in godbolt.org on x86-64.

I will get hold of an x86-64 box with Linux on it. Get round the 
problems that way.
