It's "-m32mscoff", but yeah, that's all you need to use with dmd. 
  You'll also need to recompile druntime and phobos, which I 
believe can be done for both with the following command:

make -fwin64.mak MODEL=32mscoff

win64.mak has the configuration to pull in MSVC and you need to 
specify the model so that it compiles for 32-bit.  Of course, 
this is only available in git HEAD, not in the stable release 
yet.  You can find info about building from source on Windows
