That wasn't the sort of security bug I was worried about. By not 
supporting these obsolete NDKs, Google is saying that apps built for 
older Android versions are unreliable or insecure or whatever. We can't 
expect users to fix those old Android bugs, and we likely lack resources 
to modify Emacs to work around them.

Is this referring to Replicant 6? Though I know little about Replicant, 
I suspect it'll be better for everyone concerned if Replicant 11 is the 
porting target, as that's where active Replicant development is (even 
though no official version has been released). Replicant 6 is pretty old 
and has known and seemingly unfixable security issues.
