Hi,
I have a project aiming to old 68K processor. While I don't think DMD
would be able for this on the other hand I think GDC can, am I right?
If yes would be any restriction of features to be used? Or the compiler
would be smart enough to handle this properly?

Potentially.
D is designed to only work on 32bit+ architectures. The 68k series did
have 32bit versions of them.
After a quick check it does look like LDC is out as LLVM has not yet got
support for M68k target. Which is unfortunate because with the -betterC
flag it could have pretty much out of the box worked. Even if you don't
have most of D at your disposal e.g. classes and GC (but hey old cpu!
can't expect that).
I have no idea about GDC, but the -betterC flag is pretty recent so its
support may not be what you would consider first class there yet.
