OpenD supports library cross compile with `opend --target=mac 
-lib` (or `--target=mac-arm` for those) but important to note 
this generates a .a file. The application must still be linked on 
the Mac hardware; this is an Apple EULA requirement.

With upstream ldc you can do something similar with 
`-mtriple=x86_64-apple-darwin` or aarch64 instead of x86
