My work is specific to the Mac Arm64 ABI, which is sadly different from the 
Linux AArch64 ABI, even though the CPUs are the same.

Apple is set to abandon Rosetta in their upcoming Macs, meaning that only the 
Arm64 will be supported.

After the Mac Arm64 is fully functional, I will return to making Linux AArch64 
work. The initial work I'd done was on the Raspberry Pi, and I was able to make 
C programs work with DMD on it.

There are no plans for the 32 bit Arm.
