D lang support

[kassane]

Self-hosting compilers (need D compiler for bootstrap)

Based on Alpine packages, add:

• gcc-gdc and ldc2 (llvm-based) support (cross-compilers)
• dmd (currently i686/amd64 only - aarch64[wip]) - no cross-compilation

Aports:

• gcc-gdc
• ldc2

gcc-gdc

this requires gcc so there's no point (and having multiple compilers is a bit not that useful)

ldc

this might be added eventually but there is no interest in adding it since no very useful software is written in D (there's like four useful niche projects total) so there's no priority. it also takes forever to update to newer llvm versions every llvm release..

unless you plan to figure out how to build a ldc-bootstrap that runs natively and then ldc with it i don't think this will be done anytime sooner than in a few years

this is unlikely to be done anytime soon and i have no real interest in doing it so there's no need to keep an open issue about it
