The error is from line 137 of node_dlang.d. Looking at it, we see
this:
```d
super (message, file, line, nextInChain);
```
This is in the constructor of the `JSException` class, a subclass
of `Exception`, calling the superclass constructor. According to
the error message, one or more of the arguments in this list does
not match any `Exception` constructor's parameter list.
Looking closer, we can see that the arguments to the super
constructor are all declared in the `JSException` constructor
like this:
```d
this (
napi_value jsException
, string message = `JS Exception`
, string file = __FILE__
, ulong line = cast (ulong) __LINE__
, Throwable nextInChain = null)
```
Compare that with the constructors in the `Exception` class and
you should see that the problem is `ulong line`. The equivalent
argument in the superclass is `size_t`. In 32-bit, `size_t` is
defined as `uint`, not `ulong`. So it's passing a `ulong` to a
`uint`, which is a no-no.
The `JSException` constructor should be modified to this:
```d
, size_t line = __LINE__
```
The README does say it hasn't been tested with 32-bit. So there
may be more such errors.
Unrelated, but I recommend you use `--arch=x86_mscoff` so that
you can use the same linker and object file format as `-m64` uses
(MS link, or lld, and PE/COFF), rather than the default (which is
OPTLINK and OMF). It may save you further potential headaches.
