So for various reasons I see potential to use a gdc on an

Given gdc on linux exists, gdc arm port exists, gcc nios2 back

Leaves me wondering... how hard could it be to get gdc
targetting Nios2?
Any "this is how to do these things" type guides out there?
I do not know this system but should be possible.
Maybe this is the starting point:
http://wiki.dlang.org/GDC/Installation
At the end of the page there is a link to cross compiler page. In
that page there is 4 different ways people have used.
First forget D and try to build a C only toolset. If this works
then build c++. If this works, then build D without library.
If this works, then make your own runtime library, see Mikes work
here:

or port an existing library like my minlibd:
