"which is available practically everywhere." Is not an argument, it's a common *NIX ignorance.
Not aimed at you in particular, but most folk do the same all the time.

When the Q is `create upload & update tool for D` then most definitely D 
at least works on that platform ?
In fact I'm interested in ARMv7 also but given the discussion it's 
pianly obvious that it's a dev tool to work on currently supported 
systems. I don't recall ARM being officially supported on any D compiler.
