Naturally, the patch for >=12 (64-bit inodes) has existed for a 
long time in FreeBSD Ports, so you  can just `pkg install ldc` on 
12 or 13-CURRENT.

I've also done the work of porting to FreeBSD/aarch64 (64-bit 
ARMv8). You can't yet just pkg install it on aarch64 as the 
update has not yet landed in Ports, but the patch for Ports is in 
the FreeBSD bugzilla (and my github), so you can apply it and 
compile the package yourself.
