Issue 120 was the biggest blocker for now. The fix still isn't merged
yet (my fault, I'll try to finish it this week). All other bugs which
happen on ARM, but not on x86(32 bit) are filed in the gdc bug
tracker( http://gdcproject.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?list_id=78&resolution=---&query_format=advanced&rep_platform=ARM&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&component=gdc&product=GDC
).
Some are just bugs in the compiler test suite.
#10 is a real issue but it should be an issue on x86 as well.
#8 is the evaluation order problem that has been discussed on the NG. I
guess it'll take some time till this is finished, but usually it
shouldn't cause problems.
#7 is an optimizer/codegen bug and needs further investigation.

But all in all, the compiler is in a good shape. Phobos / Druntime are
completely untested though (we can't run the unittests with GDC right
now, IIRC)
