Yes.

iOS 32it doesn’t support native TLS. DMD doesn’t support ARM. I don’t think it’s a big issue.

Would it be ok to continue use emulated TLS for 32bit? Otherwise I think there's just some minor issue with the instructions generated to access a TLS variable. Perhaps someone that actually knows how DMD works could help out.
