I can't speak to Android, but I know that building GDC on ARM is
fairly routine these days. Make sure to build with
DFLAGS="-fno-section-anchors" in the environment, but otherwise,
follow the normal build instructions.
I would assume the same would apply when building a cross compiler for
ARM (although the normal build instructions are just a bit harder).
