What is the status of the platform?
I might be doing some number crunching on one of the power8
beasts, would be nice to have D working there.
Not that bad afaik. LDC should be able to build itself, the
runtime libs and their unittests, but a bunch of tests fail.
Little-endian could be working pretty well out of the box, but
Phobos doesn't fully support big-endian architectures (at least
last time I checked).
See https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/1909. [The
initial problems for that guy were due to a faulty host compiler;
make sure to bootstrap LDC via latest ltsmaster branch.]
