Well, to be completely honest with you the only one
thing I like about the Go programming language is the
ability to easily cross-compile your Go program from
any supported OS to any supported OS.
So I was wondering what is the story of cross-compilation
for different D language compilers? Is it possible to some
extent now? Do you guys have interest in it?
Basically as far as I understood what makes Go suitable
for cross-compilation is their own linker implementation,
and D compilers use current system linker.
LDC is a cross compiler by default.
the `-mtriple` flag tells LDC what arch, OS and cpu to target.
`-linker=lld-link` or `-linker=lld` (not really sure of the
difference) will use LLVM crosslinker, so provided you have the
appropriate libraries to link against it should work
