I'd at some point like to build 64bit, will it ever be possible 
in the reasonably near future?

I'm looking forward...I miss the possibility of compiling 
programs in D for Odroid C2.

Thanks for the link, interesting post, good to see AArch64 
performance is comparable to x64.  I've had this Anandtech 
overview of that chip open in Chrome for months, haven't finished 
reading it yet:

LDC is currently the compiler farthest along the way to AArch64 support 
(because I put some work into it a while ago). Two main things need 
implementing still: The D interface to variadic arguments (passing them 
works fine, but the va_arg!() template doesn't yet), and 128 bit real 
support in some parts of the formatting code (which depends on either 
having the (u)cent types available, or a minor rewrite).

Do get in touch if you feel like helping out – all the basics are in 
place (with my patch from the issue linked earlier) and the test suite 
mostly passes, so it should be relatively easy to get started.

Best,
David
