Worked like a charm!  I'm surprised that wasn't on the ubuntu x86 64-bit 
forum.  Time to go make another post...

I'm not sure how to configure it to do so.  I did try hacking at the

Can gdc do better?

gdc has an amd 64 binary release that works great. No rebuild config changes required (besides telling /etc/rebuild/default to use gdc-posix). There's a related thread from earlier this month that says dmd does not support 64 bit yet.

This has nothing to do with rebuild/dsss. I had the same problem with "pure" dmd. (Sorry for forgetting to mention that in my previous post)
 I'm assuming dmd is generating a 32 bit executable and failing 
 to link with 64 bit libraries. 
Yes, that's exactly what's happening AFAIK I got it to work was by running dmd in a 32-bit chroot. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575 for step-by-step instructions. You'll want to install DMD and gcc+binutils into the chroot, and create a symlink named "dmd" (outside the chroot) to the do_chroot script they provide.
 Can dmd generate a 64 bit executable? 
No, DMD can only generate 32-bit executables. [snip]
 Can gdc do better?
Although I haven't been able to compile it myself on amd64, the binary distribution[1] worked straight out of the box IIRC. It's a native 64-bit executable and produces 64-bit code. (It's supposed to also be able to generate 32-bit code, but I haven't tried that) Note that there is at least one issue with it, but considering this is the first release to support 64-bit it works pretty well. Unfortunately, that issue means that Tango's formatted output functions don't compile and (G)Phobos' formatted output doesn't support structs... Other than that I haven't had any problems with it, as far as I can remember. [1]: gdc-0.23-x86_64-linux-gcc-4.1.1.tar.bz2 from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=154306

Now that I've gotten gdc to work on ubuntu with AMD64, I've started 
experimenting with the coverage analysis.  gdc -cov will build object 
files, but doesn't link.  Any tips?
