The extra standard libraries could be separate downloads (hosted 
by whoever), but there is also `-betterC`.
We could include a script that builds Phobos for a certain triple 
(I was already thinking about including such a script for 
building Phobos with LTO), but for druntime we don't include all 
the source...

Just tested: adding ARM and AArch64 to X86 on Mac adds 5 MB (LTO 
build).
