1. compile time: version(ARM) (while not exactly only PI, it will 
be enough to differentiate between PC and Pi), if you really want 
to be sure you can read /proc/cpuinfo at runtime or before the 
build and check if the string BCM2708 is in there (raspberry pi 
1) or BCM2709 (raspberry pi 2/3)

2. Thats a bug if the exact same code & command outputs profiling 
on PC. I suppose you are using LDC? You should search if there is 
a issue and post an issue with code & commands you can use to 
test it otherwise.
