I stumbled across that site sometime back when looking for a way 
to open a shell with my own command-line apps on my Android 
tablet and run the druntime/phobos unit tests from the command 
line on an unrooted Android/ARM device.  However, that setup is 
not going to fix the TLS issue that's holding up Android/ARM.  D 
sticks all non-shared/__gshared globals in Thread-Local Storage 
(TLS) by default, but Android doesn't support TLS natively, so 
you can't just compile a D app for linux/ARM and run it on 
Android/ARM, whether with that setup or not.

It'll likely work; you just can't run on port 80 because you 
don't have root.

But that requires root, so you're back to square one.
