I'm surprised there is no open issue for this.
ARM has become extremely popular with the rise of powerful mobile devices and small consumer computers like the raspberry pi. Getting DMD on ARM devices could pave the way for D on iPhones and Androids, as well as D ruling the hobbyist projects, as resources constraints become too hindering with scripting languages like Python.

Nobody has any intention of supporting ARM in DMD, AFAIK. GDC and LDC already support ARM, so D is already available for those devices (subject to varying levels of implementation and runtime completeness).
See

and

for more info about using D on ARM.

When I brought this up in the forms, Walter didn't seem to be against it http://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]
