the issue is that at the moment, all native system libraries are tagged as
"unstable" and may change in the next platform release, breaking any app
that rely on specific ABIs / libraries being available.

also your ARM C++ compiler is likely to generate binaries that will not work
properly when you try to run them on Android (unless you generate purely
static executables). The toolchain and ABI issues are subtle (and frankly a
pain to deal with).
