Currently my scons files have a quite annoying header, that adds

-m32
-Wa,--32
-I /usr/local/include/d/4.0.3
-I /usr/local/include/d
-I /usr/local/include/d/4.0.3/i686-pc-linux-gnu

to all gdc calls. I wondered if somebody is working on a spec file to put stuff like that as default into gdc?

Am I correct in assuming that you're using an AMD-64 or EM64T system?

On such a system, GDC would probably be much happier compiled as a cross-compiler than as a native compiler, eg:

../configure --prefix=/opt/gdc-i686 \
  --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
  --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

You are correct. A few months ago I tried to build GDC as a cross compiler but didn't succed. So I'm using the precompiled binaries now.

However building a cross compiler won't help with the include directories issue, for that a spec is needed AFAIK.

BTW 64 bit. Is there already experimental support? I'm beginning to need that, as I want to provide native 64 bit builds of my engine.

Said spec file is compiled in.  It is not necessary unless you've somehow overridden it.

To be honest, I have no idea, nor do I know if there's even any real porting effort going on.
