I have added myself to the cc list of this 2 year old problem.

I don't have the time, and likely the knowledge, to fix this and provide
a pull request. It would be great if DMD 2.063 got a fix for this and it
percolated to LDC and GDC. 

Is this a symptom of Phobos being predicated on hardware data types? If
so there is a mass of applications out there that D cannot handle
sensible (unlike Python (especially SciPy), Julia, R, Matlab,
Mathematica, etc.
