Just a note for Pi 2 and 3 owners running Raspian.  Even though Raspian
defaults to armv6, the LDC 1.0.0-beta1 binary for armv7 can be used with
a little symlinking:

$ cd /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
$ ln -s libedit.so libedit.so.0

LDC works great for Pi 1 too, but being armv6, Pi 1 owners will need to
bootstrap by downloading and building ldc ltsmaster branch (C++
version).  I suppose at some point, Raspian will have this version of
LDC available with apt-get.
