DMD has only a very limited set of targets compared to LLVM and
GCC. So they need more manpower to maintain and enhance the
backends.
Target are the tip of the iceberg. GCC and LLVM do most of their
magic in the middle, that is common accross front ends and
targets. And honestly, there is no way DMD can catch up.
