Since this is the first ldc release with a mostly working 64-bit 
ARM, ie AArch64, port, I've put up ldc builds for linux/AArch64 
and Android. You can get the linux build at the github link 
above; the Android build is available from the Termux app in the 
Android store, by running `pkg install ldc`:

You can see what else remains to be done for the AArch64 port by 
looking at the logs from the linux/AArch64 Shippable CI linked 
from the github release and the checklist in this ldc tracking 
issue:

I've added info on how to cross-compile a D runtime and standard 
library for linux/AArch64 to the wiki:

https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_LDC_runtime_libraries#Usage_for_cross-compilation

I've also started updating the wiki on how to build Android apps 
in D for 64-bit ARM devices.
