Hi Chris!

LDC can generate binaries for ARM but still has a major bug which 
prevents working exception handling. My new developer board 
arrived this week so I hope to solve this issue soon.

But this is only half of the story. My target is Linux/ARM which 
is already supported by druntime/phobos. If you target a 
smartphone then you also have to add Android or iOS support to 
druntime/phobos. I don't know if somebody is working on this 
topic.

Regards,
Kai
