[Bug]: arm-linux-androideabi-* It's broken

[Yisus7u7]

Problem description

arm-linux-androideabi* is broken, can't compile any program, now when installing modules from python pip or ruby gem just doesn't work

What steps will reproduce the bug?

this is broken, that explains why installing things from pip and gem causes compilation error

What is the expected behavior?

Before it worked, it generated faulty executables but compiling libraries which is the main thing that makes pip and gem worked correctly

Any chance this is related to #7232?

EDIT: Sorry for wrong issue mention, just fixed

That problem is about a linking error.

This problem is that it is simply broken and does not compile anything.

[Grimler91]

If anything I guess it is related to this old issue: #3092

Not really though, this looks more like an issue with the ndk headers for arm.

[Grimler91]

Ah, based on android/ndk#1411 it seem to be same issue as #7232

[Yisus7u7]

Based on what I read, it should be used

armv7a-linux-androideabi

And don't use arm-linux-androideabi

[Yisus7u7]

Effectively you have to use armv7a, everything works again as it was before.

[Yisus7u7]

@Grimler91

Resolved, now it should not be identified as arm, but as armv7a

Rename arm to armv7a and everything went back to working as before

[Grimler91]

@Yisus7u7 doesn't your last screenshot show that it didn't work for armv7a-linux-androideabi-clang++ either?

If it worked, The one that doesn't work is arm, which can't compile

Everything is solved by changing arm -> armv7a

[Yisus7u7]

I renamed everything from arm-linux-androideabi to armv7a-linux-androideabi.

It works well.

I renamed everything from arm-linux-androideabi to armv7a-linux-androideabi.

It works well.

If it's fixed by renaming the target, then it's surely related to #7232, as said by @Grimler91 in #7839 (comment)

You should close this now

[enh-google]

I renamed everything from arm-linux-androideabi to armv7a-linux-androideabi.

yeah, the NDK no longer supports armv5 (which is what arm-linux-androideabi was). you should move to armv7a.
