LP32 ABI bugs
-------------
This probably belongs in the NDK documentation rather than here, but these
are the known ABI bugs in LP32:
* time_t is 32-bit. http://b/5819737
* off_t is 32-bit. There is off64_t, but no _FILE_OFFSET_BITS support.
Many of the off64_t functions are missing in older releases, and
stdio uses 32-bit offsets, so there's no way to fully implement
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS.
* sigset_t is too small on ARM and x86 (but correct on MIPS), so support
for real-time signals is broken. http://b/5828899
