Severin Teona - SAOC Milestone 1 Update 1 - Druntime for Microcontrollers

[Severin Teona]

Hi all,

This is an update for the first week of the first milestone for 
SAOC 2020.

My idea for the first two weeks (the original outline is at [1]) 
was to:
- try to build the druntime for an embedded architecture (the 
microcontroller I’m working with has an ARM Cortex-M4 CPU).

Before the start of the SAoC 2020 I tried to build it using the 
‘lcd-build-runtime’ tool, but an cmake error [2] that I have not 
been able to resolve yet has stopped me.

This week:
- I followed Denis’ advice [3] and tried to build the runtime 
using the Meson build system.
- I have not succeeded yet and somehow there are still errors to 
resolve, but I have a feeling I am close.

In the following week:
- I hope I’ll manage to build the runtime so that I’ll have a 
working environment to help me in the next months of SAoC 2020.
