FWIW, last night I tried taking the current swift-llvm swift-2.2.branch and cherry picking your ARM_REL32/GOT_PREL patch atop it. This got *much* further through the build, but eventually failed while building the  Swift standard library:

swift: /home/pi/Source/Swift/llvm/include/llvm/ADT/PointerIntPair.h:114: void llvm::PointerIntPair<swift::ProtocolConformance *, 2, swift::ConformanceKind, llvm::PointerLikeTypeTraits<swift::ProtocolConformance *> >::setPointerAndInt(PointerTy, IntType) [PointerTy = swift::ProtocolConformance *, IntBits = 2, IntType = swift::ConformanceKind, PtrTraits = llvm::PointerLikeTypeTraits<swift::ProtocolConformance *>]: Assertion `(PtrWord & ~PointerBitMask) == 0 && "Pointer is not sufficiently aligned"' failed.

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
