OK, you may have to omit some bits of the standard library then. (Or 
just not use it.) Whether you use phobos or tango or whatever you like, 
the source is provided, so it's pretty easy to add version() statements 
to stick in workarounds if you want. Is the system using ulibc or 
something of the sort? I wonder how compatible that is...

(Also, this thread might be better to post on D.learn, but I'm not sure)
