It looks like it would be relatively straight forward for DMD
to be a
cross-compiler.
A few version() statements could be runtime if's, and that's
pretty much it.
When hacking on parts of DMD, I frequently make hacks that turn
such
versions into runtime if's to test multiple targets from the
one dev
workflow.
It would be about 100 times more convenient to supply an arg,
than make hacks all over the code... so, why not?
What specifically do you want to cross-compile to, something like
Windows to macOS? LDC already does all this, ie the one compiler
cross-compiles to every other platform with a single flag, may
just want to use it.
