I often wonder if others share the importance of mobile

I wonder that sometimes too, considering it's only two people
working on them.
They seem to be getting lots of love recently, which is very
exciting!
I'd like to encourage those working on the Android/iOS
toolchains to
publish regular binary builds of the toolchains so we with
little
allocated working time can grab the latest toolchains and try
our
stuff from time to time.
I can't speak for Dan, who's been getting iOS working, but I just
got Android/ARM running a week ago, so it's too early to put out
builds. However, it wouldn't take much time to try out the
Android/x86 support from source, since the build process is
documented on the wiki:

Who maintains the CI solutions for the various compilers? How
hard is
it to add CI for the common cross-compilers and publish them?
No idea.
How many contributors does LDC have these days out of curiosity?
Seems like 2-3 regulars.
GDC could give Android, but all the other points depend on LLVM.
GDC appears to have some support for Android, though it's not
clear how much of phobos works:
