I've heard talk about people using GDC on ARM chips.  I might be starting a

ARMv5TE architecture (PXA207, I think).

Anyway, I'd like to be able to program in D.  Is anyone using GDC on ARM? 
XScale, specifically?  What version of GDC?  Does anyone know if Tango
works on ARM?  Is it usable, robust?  I'd like to setup a cross-compiler. 
Is this doable, easy?

Basically, I'm looking for someone with experience for GDC on ARM to comment
on the experience.

Thanks.

 running without an OS and so a bunch of stuff was missing. Really
 simple D apps would work though.

Thanks for the input; I'll take a look at the links, as well.  I'll be
running on a minimal linux, so hopefully I'll have more luck with Tango.
