i have nougat built and runs almost just fine except the prebuilt webview is built with some CPU features enabled in compiler but not supported by my cpu so i have to rebuilt one myself with these features disabled

i checked out chromium 56.0.2924.73 and built android apk one for x64, copied it into the box, launch browser, it says missing libchromium_android_linker.so. so i build again for target libchromium_android_linker.so and copy it to /system/lib64/

restart browser in android, logcat says can't find libwebviewchromium.so. the lib is in webview.apk, why it can't find/load the lib inside apk but the prebuilt webview.apk can? maybe some patch/config is required in kernel? using strace i can see it tried to load "/system/app/webview/webview.apk!/lib/x86_64/libwebviewchromium.so

i retry with libwebviewchromium.so unzipped to /system/app/webview/lib/x86_64/libwebviewchromium.so, restart browser, logcat says
