Correct. The Android build system does not seem to be prepared for the
directory structure used in wpa_supplicant/hostapd and the workaround
for that is to include the src directory under wpa_supplicant/hostapd.
The old versions in the Android trees have done this type of move in the
repository; I'm using a symlink in my tests.

I'm doing exactly this manually. I would hope that the same thing can be
added automatically from the Android.mk file, but I have not tested that
yet.

If I've understood correctly, this won't be acceptable with the current
Android build mechanism.
