Is a D compiler planned for architectures other than x86?  In particular...
perhaps... oh, I don't know...
PPC running Mac OS X? ;)  This also raises the question of executable formats...
assumably the Linux
compiler would generate ELF executables, but on OS X they would need to be
Mach-O.

If you came here from my article, I suggest checking the D for GCC reference at the end.  That'll take you to the D.gnu newsgroup here, where a GCC frontend for D is underway.  And yes, it does currently compile on OS X.

The GCC frontend for D can generate PPC binaries, and works on OS X albiet with rather limited functionality.
