Description

Could you please consider adding D-language support next time you build the toolchain?
There is info here: http://gdcproject.org/wiki
It's very easy to add D support when building the toolchain. There are lots of Android hackers in the D community, and I for one am very keen to start work on D bindings for the NDK.
D is on track to be merged into GCC 4.9 proper next year, but we'd really like to get started supporting the platform sooner than that.

Sure, this is great idea. We'll look on that and, if no serious problems will be detected, include it in next release.

While thinking on it, there is also an LLVM frontend LDC, which is super easy to build. Maybe also drop an LDC binary in there beside Clang?
Does the NDK Clang build have any customisations, or is it just stock ARM support?

Yes, it have customizations. We'll see how easy it to build LDC on top of NDK's LLVM. Or you can do it on your own (as usual, contributions are welcome).

Unfortunately, not yet. We've been enforced to postpone it a bit due to appearance of several critical issues. But we'll return back to it soon.
