Would you accept this change? https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs/commit/ecdd4f9a068ae41a937689d593ff9d343ddf9481

I know that this is totally out of scope for an Arch Linux package so I'd understand if you don't want this. However, I find it nice that one can in practice install this and many other Android packages under Windows via MSYS2 without having to recompile anything as the packages are "any" packages anyway. This allows using e.g. OpenSSL builds for Android done under Arch Linux also under Windows. One only needs to supply the env variables for certain paths manually. I was even able to use the Qt builds for Android I've done under Arch Linux when pointing CMake to the right place for the host build. Of course this is hacky but it also kind of works and makes it quite easy to get started with native Android development under Windows/MSYS2.

I also added a little bit documentation for this workflow for the sake of building my own C++/Qt based apps: https://github.com/Martchus/cpp-utilities?tab=readme-ov-file#building-under-windows-for-android

unrelated, has anyone come up with a android-binutils package?

I also use this script to setup development builds of e.g. Qt passing additional CMake argument like -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH="$CUSTOM_PREFIX;$ANDROID_PREFIX" to the CMake wrapper script. For this to actually work I need the following change: https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs/commit/a65d8f6a7d6261b34e8816f934041b27d63b739d

Would this be acceptable?

I tested this now for x86-64 with a Qt 6 app in an emulator using an Android 15 image with 16 KB page sizes. Before I always got misleading errors (e.g. java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: empty/missing DT_HASH/DT_GNU_HASH in "/data/app/~~mkBCTsfBY7VFxZ87MOcKXg==/io.github.martchus.syncthingtray-RUFX3v6OMOBtPhL22vVNRQ==/lib/x86_64/libz.so" (new hash type from the future?)) but with all libraries recompiled with this additional flag it works.

This is about https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes.

I have already built many packages with these flags and they compile fine and are considered "good" by the script in the mentioned documentation. I still have to do a final test with all libraries re-compiled in an emulated system, though.
