I've also built a GDC ARM native compiler. Both builds were mainly blocked
by this issue:
https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/issue/120/gc-enters-an-infinite-loop-on-arm

So for now, GDC does seem to work on ARM, but if optimizations are enabled
when building druntime, the GC breaks. If optimizations aren't enabled,
everything seems to work, but hasn't really been tested.
Actually, I should try running the Phobos/Druntime test suite on ARM. Should
be fun.
