That might maybe work better. I was assuming a userland perspective because I’ve been honestly mostly wrestling with Bionic, Android’s libc, but putting that into perspective to consider Android as a whole (after all, the SDK and NDK are what make Android for a lot of developers) might be a valid other approach as well.
