Comment:

 Okay, I spent quite some time testing and reviewing the updated patch. I
 feel we are close. Here are three things that I found so far which should
 be fixed:

 1) You have `--disable-strip` in the mozconfig file. Please use `--enable-
 strip` instead (even though the resulting binaries are indeed stripped),
 as this is less confusing.

 2) Could you add a comment in the mozconfig file above
 {{{
 ac_add_options --with-libclang-path=/var/tmp/dist/android-toolchain
 /android-ndk/arm/lib64
 ac_add_options --with-clang-path=/var/tmp/dist/android-toolchain/android-
 ndk/arm/bin/clang
 }}}
 explaining that we need that for the Stylo build part and the preferred
 way, using `LLVM_CONFIG`, is not available as there is no `llvm-config` in
 the ndk. (at least I could not find it)

 3) The gradle deps download script mentions issues with setting
 `LC_ALL=C`. Please add the bug number as reference (it is #28117).

 Finally, could you explain what breaks without setting `--with-android-
 version=22`? You mentioned "22 is the highest version that works" but what
 does that mean?
