Presumably LDC would be the quickest thing to get on there?

GDC on ARM has been working reasonably well for a while now (although
I get an ICE when building the latest trunk - still trying to come up
with enough information for a bug report). There's one major bug that
requires the section-anchors optimization to be disabled.
Last I tried LDC on ARM, it built and segfaulted when building the
standard library. GCC code generation for ARM is apparently
significantly better than LLVM, so I haven't looked much farther into
LDC.
LLVM can't be that bad since it's good enough for Apple and they're
abandoning GCC in favor of Clang and LLVM.
I'm looking into it again, apparently it's improved dramatically on
ARM in the last few years. The compiler itself builds, but Druntime
needs some ARM-specific assembly. Working on that.
You may want to have a peek at GDC's druntime, as it is (mostly)
ARM-ready. Could probably lift some code from there.
