I'm pretty sure the answer is no, and I guess this is a Walter question. 
Can DMD compiler output 64-bit code for AMD and Intel 64-bit machines?  How

I think Walter has previously stated that this will be a major task, but one
that he hope to have completed this year (IIRC), but check out the
C++-group for details.
