Your post really helps. I got android tree compiled in my gentoo box. Here is a list of software in addition ## android cannot be built with make-3.82 echo ">sys-devel/make-3.81-r2" >> /etc/portage/package.mask ## 32bit version of basic libs are neccessary emerge -av emul-linux-x86-baselibs ## pulseaudio deamon with esound wrap emerge pulseaudio alsa-lib ## misc emerge -av valgrind unzip /Adam > > So I was able to complete thebuildwith no errors regarding missing > symbols, etc - hopefully nothing comes up in further testing.
