Unfortunately no, I didn't have the time.

I was interested in building audio applications in D, but I do 
not use much float arithmetic on embedded systems (I prefer 
integer/fixed-point over it). Anyway I have some pieces of DSP 
algorithms I could try out in float (FFT, biquads, FIR etc).

I could also try to run the phobos test suite on the board I use, 
if there is an easy way to do it (I'm pretty new to all this).

Ah ok. I am totally new to llvm. I did it the hard way. :)
