 > So this includes support for all architectures in one toolchain? Usually
 we build one toolchain for only one architecture. Maybe we can have one
 that supports all android architectures, but this can be decided when we
 add support for arm64 and x86_64. For now I think we should build only the
 architecture we use.
 >> The Android NDK has all the architectures prebuilt within its zip file.
 The make_standalone_toolchain.py scripts are just copying the prebuilt
 binaries from various locations into one usable location. Its easy enough
 to remove the script calls for arm64, x86_64 until we are ready to make a
 decision.
