As far as I know DMD or GDC are not available for ARM
architecture. So we need LDC.
A short story: we have big C/C++ project that links D (LDC)
code for different platforms.
Does new "-betterC" mean we may use parallelism with using
separate linker?

If you're having problems with the emulated TLS I put together
for Android, it is most likely because I didn't document well
what needs to be done when linking for Android. Specifically,
there are three rules that _must_ be followed:
1. You must use the ld.bfd linker, ld.gold won't do.
2. You must have a D main function, even for a shared library
(which can be put next to android_main, if you're using the
default Android wrapper from my D android library).
3. The ELF object with the D main function must be passed to the
linker first.
If you look at my examples on the wiki, you'll see that they all
follow these rules:

I should have called these rules out separately though, like I'm
doing here, a documentation oversight.
