Does DMD build as a 32bit binary under linux?

Yes, but I'm almost certain that's just DMD's poor memory management, 
rather than an intrinsic memory-hungry problem. Array literals consume a 
*ridiculous* amount of memory, especially when you start modifying them 
in CTFE.
The solution is to improve the memory management, rather than give the 
compiler another 200GB to waste <g>.
