That's not what I meant. Aside from the compiler, LDC and GDC 
include the runtime, standard library, probably documentation 
etc. They come as a complete package.

No, not just the runtime. Surely the runtime contains some 
compiler/linker/toolchain-specific things... intrinsics, linker 
scripts, section names, predefined versions, assembler syntax... 
some of these might be platform/architecture-independent but 
surely not all?
