@phosek is working on that one, but I think this is useful even without it, 
because you just need to use `android` in your triple when building the 
runtimes, and can use `androideabi` everywhere else. I'll put up an example 
runtimes build setup with that to demonstrate.

Ah, yeah, https://reviews.llvm.org/D85927 dynamically detects the thread 
properties API, so we don't need an explicit build for 31. An explicit build 
with ELF TLS is still required though.
