I'll rework my llvm patch so that it's enabled by a flag, which 
would then be flipped by ldc when passed the Android triple, and 
submit PRs for ldc and the packaging ldc-scripts for linux.  It'd 
help if you then simply applied the llvm patch in the same way 
for that MSVC build, as I don't have a Windows machine to test on.

Heh, thanks for your docker image and other work getting the ldc 
cross-compiler going on Windows.  We may need you to test out 
this cross-compiler for Windows.  If you're comfortable building 
llvm and ldc from source, you may want to try it with my llvm 
patch now and see if it builds on Windows and all the tests pass 
on Android, by following the linux instructions on the wiki but 
using the Windows equivalents.

Otherwise, we'll try it on Windows later with the beta.
