It looks like it would be relatively straight forward for DMD
to be a
cross-compiler.
A few version() statements could be runtime if's, and that's
pretty much it.
When hacking on parts of DMD, I frequently make hacks that turn
such
versions into runtime if's to test multiple targets from the
one dev
workflow.
It would be about 100 times more convenient to supply an arg,
than make hacks all over the code... so, why not?
Yeah, I don't see a reason why DMD should not be a
cross-compiler. I've been thinking the same thing as well.
