Hi, OK, here's one preliminary theory after I dragged Jason to a conversation from his weekend in a vacation. Thanks! Could have waited until Monday of course, but it's great to have another starting point to work on over the weekend. There could be mis-use of the framebuffer's

Why are our Android toolchains 32bit?

2011-08-10 Thread Bernhard Rosenkranzer
Hi, while working on some improvements, I noticed that our Android toolchain binaries are built as 32-bit x86. Is there any reason for this (other than we inherited it from AOSP)? While it doesn't matter much, it doesn't make much sense to me - Android can't currently be built on 32-bit machines
