Based on my experience POSIX compliance is like any standard.

You end up getting lots of #ifdef for each POSIX system anyway. The only people that think POSIX is a standard without any issues, only know GNU/Linux.

One thing missing from the list which costs a lot of effort, is code generation.

Based on my toy Solaris experience with DMD, I think it is easier to use LDC or GDC for bringing D to other platforms.

Yeah, it seems like POSIX kind of failed in the sense that you can't just have a simple posix makefile that works for any posix compliant os.

The problem with using those is that most D libraries are built with DMD in mind, like Vibe.d. DMD is pretty much setting the standard for how D behaves.
