Don't know about gdc, but ldc is close (most of the listed 
upstream PRs are merged):

https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/2153

As for memory, ldc can be used to cross-compile from a more 
capable machine, the official builds all ship with the AArch64 
backend enabled now:

https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.3.0

The next ldc beta will ship with a build tool that lets you 
easily compile or cross-compile the stdlib yourself, so you can 
generate the stdlib for AArch64 even if it isn't provided:
