+# libc_ndk.a
+# Compatibility library for the NDK. This library contains
+# all the parts of libc that are safe to statically link.
+# We can't safely statically link things that can only run
+# on a certain version of the OS. Examples include
+# anything that talks to netd (a large portion of the DNS
+# code) and anything that is dependent on the layout of a
+# data structure that has changed across releases (such as
+# pthread_t).
