Last time I tried outside of the 64-bit environment, it didn't work, even with 
the new multilib stuff (which I did not get the impression was full multilib yet, 
but I haven't dug into it thoroughly). One of the main problems that I've had 
using dmd in straight up 64-bit land though is that I like to fully statically 
link my binaries, and -L-lstatic doesn't work with dmd for some reason:

And in Arch, their gcc setup is still too 64-bit-centric to link 32 bit code (or 
at least, I couldn't get it to do it). I've been able to it in OpenSuSE however. 
Regardless, the situation will be simplified once 64-bit dmd is ready.
