Some good news, I've made progress on the port to Android/ARM,
using ldc's 2.067 branch. Currently, all 46 modules in
druntime and 85 of 88 modules in phobos pass their tests (I
had to comment out a few tests across four modules) when run
on the command-line. There is a GC issue that causes 2-3
other modules to hang only when the tests are run as part of
an Android app/apk, ie a D shared library that's invoked by
the Java runtime.

Would those patches for ldc/druntime/phobos be applied & merged
into LDC eventually?
For the ones I wrote which have not been upstreamed already, yes,
I'll submit PRs once I get them cleaned up. For example, I'd
like to devise a way not to use dl_iterate_phdr to load
pre-initialized data, so that Android versions older than 5.0 can
run D too. I need to look into employing the same bracketed
sections approach that dmd uses.
