Remove an old workaround that was kept around for ABI-compatibility on x86-64 between different LLVM versions. This means LLVM r67588 is required if you want to compile for x86-64, otherwise the backend will assert when you try to return e.g. struct { int i; char c; } from a function. (In particular, this is no longer compatible with LLVM 2.5) It also means that any code returning small structs on x86-64 will probably need to be recompiled in order to be linkable to code compiled with this change.

This is the source code to the front end Digital Mars D compiler.
It covers the lexical analysis, parsing, and semantic analysis
of the D Programming Language defined in the documents at
www.digitalmars.com/d/

The optimizer, code generator, and object file generator are not part
of this source, hence the source does not currently constitute a complete,
compilable program. However, many people have expressed a strong interested
in producing a D compiler with the GNU compiler sources. This release should
enable that.

These sources are free, they are redistributable and modifiable
under the terms of the GNU General Public License (attached as gpl.txt),
or the Artistic License (attached as artistic.txt).

It does not apply to anything else distributed by Digital Mars,
including D compiler executables.
