Description Martin Nowak 2013-12-04 15:35:59 UTC 
The linux packages come with cross compile support for X86_32 by default.
This feature is rarely needed but creates a package dependency on a complete gcc multiarch toolchain.
It makes these packages annoying to use for continuous integration systems like travis-ci where you have to install dmd before every test run.

I think we should offer the 64/32 cross compiler dmd as separate package on dlang.org/downloads.
