I've checked out the repo, built it so far, and indeed some
failures but no big deals.
Currently paging through to get a hold on what's in there.
(I'll be the first to admit I don't know squat about the LLVM

A good place to start is :

You can uncomment things here :
https://github.com/SDC-Developers/SDC/blob/master/libd-llvm/src/d/llvm/backend.d#L115
and see what kind of IR is outputed. Frankly you don't need to
know much more than this to get started.
Don't go paralyzed because you don't know everything. Start doing
something and see what is actually blocking you.
