Hi again, I tried to pull out what I have so far to write down a suggestion but I've lost them because I updated the ndk version and all related files deleted. I tried again what I remember but I cannot build libgfortran this time cannot go on there. Yet, I think adding an entry for this will attract interested students. Also, I think it can be broader in the sense that how julia can be ported other architectures and/or systems. Sorry for this.
