Yeah, something strange.  The start.d on the webpage compiles 
fine for me too.  I am using LDC as cross compiler to ARM, but 
you should also be able to compile start.d fine with regular 
dmd too even though it can't target ARM.

It is as if your message array declaration line is being read by
compiler as:

    uint[0] message =

I've also tried putting it all on one line, but that didn't help:

src/start.d:46:12: error: mismatched array lengths, 0 and 3
     uint[3]message=[2,cast(uint)"hello\r\n".ptr,7];
            ^

-So it's not because there's a problem with spaces, tabs and 
linefeeds.

When I change the square brackets to parantheses, the error 
goes
away, but I'm not sure that is the correct fix ?

Changing the square brackets to parens is doing something 
different.
You do want the square brackets.

I expected that. :)

Thank you both Mike and Dan for the replies.

This could be something related to big endian issues, as my 
compiler is hosted on a big endian machine (PowerMac G5). Note: 
Just in case it's important; I'm using GCC+GDC, not LLVM+LDC.

I hope I'll be able to make a build on my CubieBoard2, so I can 
try the test there.
