Well, work has been done to make it so that different runtimes will work - e.g. there's a CRuntime_Glibc and a CRuntime_Bionic. So, druntime is a lot better off than just linux vs FreeBSD vs whatever. But it wouldn't surprise me in the least if someone using something like Debian GNU/kFreeBSD would find some problems with what we currently have. - Jonathan M Davis
