a more realistic goal is building AOSP with toybox on a regular linux
host. there is some interest in that (hermetic builds being an obvious
good thing) but that would require either two copies of toybox in the
tree or, more reasonably, some support for multiple .config files and
multiple generated directories.

this isn't something that anyone's currently actively working on
though. we have other major build system upheavals to get through
first :-)

(bionic is soong-only at this point in master. [most of] the makefiles
have been deleted.)
