Do you think it's possible to have this in D? It's worth reading 
the article even if we don't plan to build one of our own.

Of course it's possible, shouldn't be too bad, whether it'll ever 
get done is another matter.  There is dvm, but it's only for dmd 
right now:

I'd love to have a tool for this which used either GCC or LLVM. I 
tried compiling for arm-none-eabi a while ago, and you could get 
it working, but it was a bit of a pain getting all of the right 
tools in place for it. I'd love to be able to juts type a command 
and have it all just work. I'd really love to have something 
which generated a DUB config which would cross compile.

With LDC it should be fairly straight forward. LDC can already 
cross-compile, combining that with something something like ELLCC [1] it 
should be enough to specify the ELLCC as the C compiler.
