Issue ID: 18515
Summary: freebsd 11 ships with gcc unable to link 32 bit
binaries, dmd uses it by default
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86
OS: FreeBSD
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: P1
Component: dmd

DMD uses 'gcc' to perform the link step. On freebsd 11 (and likely other
earlier versions, unexplored), gcc -m32 fails to link, looking at 64 bit
library paths instead.
This combination results in freebsd 11 32 non-functional. Either 'clang' or
'cc' work just fine. For the auto-testers, they're currently running with CC
set to cc in their environment. That's not particularly acceptable an out of
the box experience for users of that platform.
IMHO, DMD needs to use 'cc' by default rather than gcc. Without having double
checked, I suspect that will work on any relatively modern platform without
causing regressions.
