yeah, it'll be there when we actually release beta2, but until then you'll
have to get it from the usual [continuous builds](https://android.
googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/ContinuousBuilds.md).
either master or ndk-r15-release should be fine; they're more or less
identical right now.

in the literal sense: because the NDK has to guarantee ABI stability (since
your app might end up running on anything from Gingerbread to Nougat), and
those aren't under our control.
in the "why isn't it trivial to just say 'my app needs boringssl or
whatever, just build it and include it'?" sense: because the NDK has both
too many and too few build systems, and there's no good way to make this
work for all of them (plus whatever else you happen to be using).

yep, works out of the box for me with arm and aarch64.
for this no-selinux/no-smack configuration, the compiler is confused by
lsm_context and incorrectly thinks that `result` can use used
uninitialized. this shuts it up (which you might want to do because it's a
super spammy warning by virtue of coming from a header file):
diff --git a/lib/lsm.h b/lib/lsm.h
index e21d424..005e1f6 100644
--- a/lib/lsm.h
+++ b/lib/lsm.h
@@ -55,7 +55,7 @@ static inline char *lsm_name(void)

- char *result;
+ char *result = NULL;
if (CFG_TOYBOX_SMACK) ok = smack_new_label_from_self(&result) > 0;
else ok = getcon(&result) == 0;
there's one other warning from ftpget.c which AOSP doesn't normally build:
toys/net/ftpget.c:140:9: warning: variable 'port' is used uninitialized
whenever 'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

haven't looked in to that.
