FWIW: the NDK version is available in these files:
 - source.properties
 - sysroot/usr/include/android/ndk-version.h

That compiler version matches the one in r17 beta 1 (and not r16b or r17
beta 2).

The 4639204 is a build ID from Google's build server, and r316199 is an
LLVM SVN revision. I'm less sure about the 6.0.1. I _think_ the 6 probably
matches the upcoming major LLVM version as of r316199. e.g. r18 beta 2 has
version "Android (4751641 based on r328903) clang version 7.0.2", but
upstream Clang hasn't released 7.0.0 yet.

It looks like there's a struct icmphdr in the NDK's UAPI header
linux/icmp.h. That header isn't usable on my glibc system because it
conflicts with the glibc netinet/ip_icmp.h header, but maybe it's OK to use
with the NDK, though?
