Among the most interesting things are faster toolchains, including 64-bit binaries for all systems.

A big thanks to Andrew and all the other people who contributed to this release.

The new release seems to have a bug in calling "ndk-build clean" in
projects that include e.g. the cpufeatures library, ending up like this:

Clean: cpufeatures [armeabi-v7a]
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `rm -rf (TARGET_OBJS)'
make: *** [clean-cpufeatures-armeabi-v7a] Error 2


This bug can be fixed by https://android-review.googlesource.com/54480.

Actually, the bug doesn't seem to be related to cpufeatures, but more to
including a prebuilt static library (such as stlport) in the project. The
fix should still be the same though.

Change android-ndk/build/core/build-binary.mk line 49 like this:

-$(cleantarget): PRIVATE_CLEAN_FILES := ($(my)OBJS)
+$(cleantarget): PRIVATE_CLEAN_FILES := $($(my)OBJS)

Any idea how to resolve this one?

<android-ndk>/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/darwin-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-strip: Command not found

Not sure which make file is trying to execute this, but the correct path SHOULD be:

<android-ndk>/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-strip: Command not found
