A small correction, the Android NDK added clang/llvm support last 
November in revision 8c:

http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html

gcc is still the default, but clang is an alternative option.  I 
don't think ldc has been ported to use whatever llvm libraries 
the NDK is providing, but there is some official support for llvm 
on Android now.
