Great, thanks a lot!

According to [1] android toolchain (I guess both AOSP and NDK toolchain) define
__ANDROID__. Which is what I'd expect.

Grepping aosp only dnsmasq and swiftshader use -D__ANDROID__ (these are from
externals). -DANDROID is use more times (e.g. some drivers in hardware - ril,
qcom, libsensors and wpa_supplicant).

>From my point of view, instead of -D__ANDROID__ or -DANDROID I'd prefer to to have
proper #ifdef HAVE_FOO guarders made by autotools checks. As android is not the
only minor libc. But I understand it's not always possible and we already use
some #ifdef __ANDROID__ in library sources and headers, so ack from myself to
help compilation outside AOSP and without NDK.

Sure, this can wait for him.

Simple 'make ANDROID=1' will do the build ANDROID is for skipping some tests
which are not android ready (+ this patch). I guess without this you probably
also want to remove -Werror-implicit-function-declaration (I haven't pushed all
my fixes of missing <string.h> and <strings.h> as this is infinite work so far.

I have in my private todo list to write some doc about building LTP for Android.
But probably you, Android devs, are more appropriate people :).
