Nice, I have ldc working at pretty much the same level on 
linux/arm, tested on a Cubieboard2.  Have you tried running any 
of the druntime/phobos unit tests?  All but two modules of 
druntime, as of the dmd 2.066 release, pass for me, while only 
three modules pass from phobos.  I'll put up instructions for 
cross-compiling with ldc once I have more of it working, as 
cross-compiling with ldc is easier.
