Hello guys,

I want to build a cross-compiler (gcc 5.4.x) for my Asus Zenfone Z00D but apparently Android uses bionic libraries instead of glibc or uClibc and thus I have hit a wall.
Is there a workaround with uClibc (I have already tried but failed, gotta try again) or glibc? Does somebody know how to configure and install bionic into "include" (folder which contains kernel headers) because I do not know how to do it with crossdev *BECAUSE ANDROOOOOOOOOIIIIIID!!!!! 8O *
Help will be much appreciated.

If you want to compile C or C++ for Android you should be using the android-ndk. That will include almost everything you need to compile native programs for Android. If you need more than that, then you can get the Android Open Source code. That will give you access to more libraries than you'll be able to get in the NDK if it doesn't have enough of what you're looking for.

I agree, you should use the Android NDK to save yourself some headache :)
Btw. you might run into this error when executing your C/C++ program for the first time on Android:
Code:
Error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported

Use the parameter "-pie" with gcc/g++
