I believe that the build process for arm is reasonably straightforward. Just `make` and a few hours should get you a julia binary.
Originally, there were some issues with CPU type and such, but I believe that was because of the way we were configuring LLVM, and that is fixed. Using LLVM 3.6, and building it with a recent gcc (4.8) seems to get some of these things right. I am curious to find out if just `make` works for the Raspberry Pi (both 1 and 2) from a fresh clone, and other boards as well. -viral
