Just out of curiosity, shouldn't GDC then be better suited for Android
than LDC? LDC works well with iOS only because Apple contributes to
LLVM.

Later, mid-summer perhaps, I plan to get both iOS and Android arm64
devicse so will be joining in the effort. I have too much other stuff
going on now though outside of D-Land and have to stick to little D
projects that won't vacuum away an afternoon.
