Comment (by gk):

 Okay, I chatted a bit with sysrqb and am still digging through all the
 different concepts (that seem to get used differently sometimes, too). So,
 could you say why exactly we did need to go back from `--api 26` to `--api
 16`.

 And it seems the toolchain Mozilla uses is defining `-D__ANDROID_API__=9`
 while the `make_standalone_toolchain.py` script defines `-D__ANDROID_API__
 =$api-level` with `api-level` being the one passed on with `--api`.

 Interestingly enough, passing `--api 9` to the python script results in an
 error: `9 is less than minimum platform for arm (14)`. I wonder whether
 that's a shortcoming of that script which means that we actually can't
 assemble a similar toolchain to the one Mozilla uses?
