worked as advertised for me, some didn't. I've just gathered it up, tried
it out and wrote down very specific instructions about what I needed to do
to get it to work. Hopefully it works well for you.

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.

At the last time I tested, all unittests and testsuite had been passing on
ARM.  There were a number of forward ported tests. And a few disabled (ie:
evaluation order of array operations differ between x86 and every other
architecture).
