Purely out of curiosity (as in I personally have no pressing need for it), what
are the main roadblocks to DMD supporting 64-bit on Mac OS and FreeBSD? I
understand that on Windows we'd need a new linker, etc, but IIUC FreeBSD and Mac
OS use GCC like Linux does.
I don't think there are any technical problems, just a lot of detail work.
Mac OS64 will be harder because there's that Mach-O format for object files that
is unique to the Mac.
FreeBSD64 uses ELF-64 which has already been done for Linux64.
