I think this means that working to make DMD better is a good 
idea, because every compiler has different strengths, like Walter 
says.

What are the problems with that thing?

While the work to support other CPUs (and GPUs) is important, 
even at Phobos/language level, x86 is still an important CPU, so 
the work to make its support good is not wasted time :-)
