Yep, I've been looking forward to having Android support fully 
baked in too. :)

Wrt. the LLVM patch: We'll most likely use LLVM 4.0.1 for 1.4 
(finally on Windows too). If the patch is still required for 
4.0.1, we'll probably need to integrate it in our ldc-scripts 
[1], so that we can update the Docker image once with that 
tailored LLVM. Integrating the patch for LDC on Windows is 
probably not worth the effort.

The runtime CMake script patch looks quite straightforward. The 
CMake variables are best put into a dedicated 
`build-ldc-runtime-android.sh` or something like it, which also 
sets `TARGET_SYSTEM=Android;Linux;UNIX` so that Android can be 
detected this way for the few special cases [is removing 
core.stdc.tgmath really required?].

So there should be no need to compile an additional combined 
druntime+Phobos testrunner anymore; cross-compiling with the 
script will yield the 2 normal separate testrunners (when setting 
the env variable `MAKE_ARGS="all all-test-runners"`). Afaict you 
didn't change anything there except for adding `-d-debug`.

I don't know what libnative-activity*.so, the biggest part of the 
patch, is; is it required?
