Unlikely. The two errors you wrote about:

>> dnormandin@ ~/programming/dmd2/osx/bin
>> 07:53 am>>  ./dmd ../../code/firstApp.d
>> ld warning: in /usr/local/gnat/lib/libgcc_s.10.5.dylib, missing

>> is not of required architecture

Noticed that both refer to files in /usr/local/gnat? "GNAT", isn't this 
a GCC-based ADA compiler? My guess is that some of you environment 
variables have the "/usr/local/gnat" path before the standard system 
path, and "gnat" seems to include single-architecture (x86_64) copies 
of the GCC libraries. If that's the case, GCC running in 64 bit will 
work using these libraries, but since DMD is 32 bit it won't.
