Picking away at LDC on arm-linux.

I am assuming that very few folks are trying LDC with target
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf because LLVM really has a problem with
simple global variables (__gshared).  It is not LDC, but LLVM.  The
codegen to load a simple global variable is all wrong with optimizer
disabled (-O0).

// load x into a register

	ldr	r0, .LCPI0_0
	ldr	r0, [r0]
	ldr	r0, [r0]        // what?! an extra load? SEGV!

// elsewhere, x is defined as
x:
	.long	0
.LCPI0_0:
	.long	x


Clang is ok at -O0.  But if I take clang IR output (-emit-llvm) and
generate code with llc -O0, it too has extra ldr instruction.  Clang
must be adding some optimization passes at -O0 that are different than
llc -O0.  I think LDC uses same passes as llc, so there is the problem.

Next, see if LLVM has a bug filed for this and find that extra
optimization pass for LDC.
