I have no problem when either cross-compiling or natively 
compiling that code for Android/ARM, by using the llvm triple 
armv7-none-linux-android with ldc 1.2.  What llvm triple are you 
using?

It could be that the ARM exception-handling code isn't right for 
your ARM platform/ABI, as we had similar issues on other ARM 
platforms till Dan fixed them:
