digitalmars.D.ldc - DMD, LDC, and GDC compilers and 32/64 bit

reply Russel Winder via digitalmars-d-ldc <digitalmars-d-ldc puremagic.com> writes:
I believe DMD, LDC, and GDC all have the -m32 or -m64 option to
determine the word size of compiled object and executable.

I also believe there are 32-bit and 64-bit builds of the three
compilers. Or are there?

It appears at some time in the past that some of the compilers when
compiled as 32-bit executables, could not generate 64-bit objects and
executables as they did not understand the -m64 option, it was not
compiled in.

I am asking this as I cannot test to get experimental data, but I need
to fix a long standing removal of a test in the SCons D test suite.

Is there a way to determine the bitsize of the compiler executable, in
the test it is assumed that if the OS is 32-bit then so are the D
compilers.

Not sure if there's a better way but the "file" command will tell if 
it's a 32bit or a 64bit executable.

Good point. I was obviously not thinking clearly yesterday. I am not
sure that is what I will use but I will  asking the same question by
other means. :-)
