Summary: Does not compile on arm64dmd: Does not compile on arm64

The log shows it's trying to compile for i386, which is way wrong.

Probably at minimum the attached patch is needed.

In addition, the port is outdated and could be updated to a newer version.

Building dmd on arm64 with this patch fails immediately with:

no cpu specified, assuming X86
make: execvp: /.../libexec/dmd-bootstrap/bin/dmd: Bad CPU type in executable

I see that there are several interrelated D-lang ports, several of which need similar fixes. Here's an updated patch to make equivalent changes in all of them.

I also see that the dmd-bootstrap port only supports x86_64. Possibly that might impede the use of the other ports on non-x86_64 architectures.

It would be nice to have dmd updated; no maintainer? It's a nice language.
