reproduce problem:

NDK version: r7
link to libstdc++.so or -lstdc++

output: (need high version SDK)

reloc_library cannot locate cxa_begin_catch

reason:

they renamed libstdc++.a to libgnustl_static.a starting from NDK r7, also inserting a new dummy libstdc++.so that contain these symbols when in the device emulator does not have.

how to fix:

LOCAL_LDFLAGS += $(MY_NDK_ROOT)/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/libs/armeabi/libgnustl_static.a

WTF
