I use LDC to build and run on 64-bit, but I'm sure GDC will work as well.
The LDC-port for D2 may be untested though, and I do not know about GDC, but personally, I think it's a mistake to recommend D2 "for new projects". Given the importance of compilers, runtime and base-libraries, and the kind of bug-reports I hear frustration around, it seems D2 should still be considered beta, but for people who want working development now, recommend D1. In all it's inferiority, it IS more stable. My guess is much frustration in the D community stems from slightly pre-maturely trying to push D2, before neither D1 nor D2 was ready. I've chosen to only work with D1/Tango from start, and I simply don't recognize the frustration many are feeling. I'm only concerned over that there ARE quite a few developers that seems to have been turned off by instability, and the Phobos/Tango-problem. Well, well. I'm generally a happy D-developer, and I only hope D3 won't be started until D2 is rock-stable, and fully utilized. :)
