Indeed, I have all cross-compilers running on explore.dgnu.org at
least.  A little hello world program should give a rough idea of which
targets are supported by libphobos - x86/64, ARM/64, MIPS/64 and
PPC/64 should be either supported or partial.  And if partial, then I
suspect that it's only because there's a missing 'CRuntime_xxx'
version define in the gcc/config patches.  Although I only use gdc on
Linux myself, the reference D compiler is tested on x86/Linux, OSX,
Solaris, and FreeBSD.  I'll optimistically say we should work on these
as well, although off the top of my head, the module dso support may
need looking at in the library.

Iain.
