I tried under Arch a few months ago and found swathes of the standard library didn't appear to work, is this something which has been fixed?

Tell that to IBM that uses Swift in production. See IBM's Kitura open source server framework if you are interested.

I'm sure you can find yourself the answer if you are really interested, here is an example: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3122994/apple-mac/ibm-s...

Or this one https://developer.ibm.com/swift/
