aarch64-linux compile problem

[Larry Dickson]

Hello strace developers,

After discovering that the Samsung S2 T710 Android tablet is really 32 bit, we attempted to cross-compile strace using the NDK in 32 bits. Again I went for android-ndk-r13b-linux-x86_64.zip, which is in

Instead of aarch64-linux-android-gcc I used arm-linux-androideabi-gcc, and similar for strip; instead of --host=aarch64-linux I used --host=arm-linux. ./configure worked but not make, which failed quickly on

print_msgbuf.c:35:21: fatal error: sys/msg.h: No such file or directory

Are there any known paths to successful compilation of strace for the Android?
