I need to patch llvm in a similar way to that dmd PR, so that
Android/ARM can use the same scheme. It appears that Dan did
something similar with his patched llvm for iOS.
As for your linked Android patches, that might be possible
but would be pointless unless you are only deploying to a
device you patched the OS for. Better to patch llvm to
support the same TLS scheme used for Android/x86.
Interesting. A few others and I were talking about getting
Android/ARM to function with LDC today. I'll be sure to keep up
to date with your work!
The remaining piece is to insert the correct function call to
___tls_get_addr when TLS variables are accessed, ie the
equivalent to this patch for dmd's backend needs to be created
for llvm:

I've been putting off looking into llvm's internals enough to
write that for a while now. If you or anybody else knows llvm
better, feel free to take it. The remaining changes needed are
in this small patch for llvm:

Cool. I will take a look
