Yes, I would very much like to get ldc to run on those cores - 
they are used on a lot of industrial controllers. My goal is to 
put D based software on those controllers.

Good news is that some basic stuff works so there is some 
incentive to try to get the rest of the missing parts running.

Please let me know how I can help, mind that I'm not versed in 
LLVM/LDC nor ARM low-level stuff - but if instructed on where/how 
to do stuff I can hack around my way.

Also, I added a bunch of useful details on the bug you posted 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/2024

Cheers,
