LDC can cross-compile to various platforms, you just need a 
cross-linker and the system libraries. There's a Docker image 
that provides cross-compilers for various targets [1]. That image 
will provide a cross-linker and system libraries. I've created a 
Docker image based on the crossbuild image that contains LDC [2]. 
It targets macOS but it should be straightforward to adopt it to 
targeting ARM.
