Thanks, I wondered if it had been posted, as it's the kind of
oddity they might enjoy. :)

An alpha release of ldc, the llvm-based D compiler, for
Android devices is now available. It is best used with the
excellent Termux app

git apply ldc_android_arm
Patch cannot be applied to current ~master
I've tried to checkout several recent tagged versions - doesn't
work too.
Probably it's applicable only to some particular LDC version.
What version of ldc should I checkout to apply this patch?
(Building LDC on Windows)
It's not hard to figure out, as 'git apply ldc_android_arm' says
it fails on dmd2/root/port.c and 'git log dmd2/root/port.c' shows
this recent change to master:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/commit/556e3a691f72b97cce31d85740e8dc12cafc9f53#diff-2268700876655bdfa9d178b9cc466277
I've updated the gist and wiki page to take that change into
account; simply download the new gist, as shown on a reloaded
wiki page.
Also, I haven't tried cross-compiling from Windows, so you may
run into other problems there. The main one I can think of is
that the test runner targets I added to CMake may have an issue,
but there could be additional incompatibilities that I simply
haven't run into on linux. Hopefully, it just works. :)
Anyway, this is a good reason to get all this stuff merged soon,
which is what I was looking into now anyway, although that
particular change is from Kai's long-unmerged longdouble2 branch.
