yeah, sorry: this is for the _host_ toybox (so glibc right now).

adding more of these to bionic has been on the to-do list for years, but
turning up warnings is always a  hard slog... (see my comment about
updating the compiler in my previous response!)

not until i add more annotations to bionic, no :-)

if you actually find yourself in a situation where bionic has something
that isn't in the NDK yet, it's probably easier to update the sysroot
(which only requires an NDK manifest checkout, not a full AOSP manifest
checkout):
