Yeah, this beta doesn't even have a MIPS backend. How much of
the testsuite do you have working on MIPS/uClibc? If you have
it pretty far along, we can probably cherry-pick what you need
and ship it with 1.9 for people to try.
I realized that those PRs are not going to get in :(.
Unfortunately it is pretty hard to contribute something that
has a big impact. It looks that I need to wait another 2
releases to get all those changes in LDC as I might miss the
2.8.0 window for 1 PR, not counting additional patches for
fixes that might come later on...
It may not be that bad. The next post-1.9 LDC is based on 2.080.x
with x most likely >= 1, so just make sure to have most stuff in
by then (maybe targeting the stable druntime/Phobos branches for
new PRs). Final touchups can always be cherry-picked.
We may have a 2.080-based LDC pretty soon. I started merging
beta1 this evening and it looks way less troublesome than
upgrading to 2.079.
