What compiler do you plan on using to build ldc?  I had some 
experience porting to Solaris/x86 years ago and I had some 
problems with the compilers available, until I found a gcc and 
configuration that worked right.  Maybe that's not as much of a 
problem these days, now that OpenIndiana and other open-source 
builds have progressed further.

That looks like a nice board, though I wonder how well it works 
with a Qualcomm chip, which I think are notorious for being 
pretty closed.  I bought a Pandaboard ES a couple years back, but 
had to leave it at a friend's place when I moved.  Maybe I'll get 
him to send it to me eventually.
