 Replying to [comment:3 gk]:


 > What is the Rust angle here? That is, why do we need to set the API to
 16 for building Rust? Building Rust and running Tor Browser for Android
 with `--api 26` is working fine for me.

 I would expect that it would work but I was thinking we should compile our
 rust libraries with the same version of the NDK as the rest of the firefox
 native code.

 Rust is using --set=target.armv7-linux-
 androideabi.cc=$ANDROID_NDK_HOME/arm/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc which
 is pointing to the location we created using with the
 make_standalone_toolchain script.

 Or am I missing the question?
