The last IOS cross compiler

0.17.0-alpha1, which is 3 years old.
I want to ask for suggestion, how can i build a cross LDC2
compiler with just betterC function to work.
As you can see, the guy who did a lot of work with getting D
running on iOS and other non-Mac Apple platforms has not been
able to do anything with it for the last year or two.
Looking at his ldc fork, there's not much he had to change to
the compiler by the end:

You could try applying those same patches to the latest ldc
release and get it working. If you just want betterC, that's
all you need, though I can't imagine it would take much to get
druntime and Phobos updated too, as he had them both working
well a couple years ago.
We are looking for someone to take over the iOS port, so if you
or someone else is interested, please try it out. You can ask
technical questions of the ldc devs directly in our forum or
github:

Thanks for you suggestion Joakim.
I try follow your suggestion, get all commit from origin branch
(116 commit by Dan Olson fro IOS brnach).
When I try cherry pick the first commit, get conflict the line
number is 6232. (the ios branch is base on cpp and master ldc is
move to d).
I will try more but I guess It is hard for me to made it work.
