I suppose we may want to fix up (or document) some of the Android
Lollipop compatibility issues, now that the new Nexus devices have
been released:

1) Enable PIE builds.  Required for Lollipop, but it breaks ICS and below:

2) Allow building for 64-bit CPUs.  I started on this a few months ago
but there were some changes in Bionic that caused compile failures in
gnulib, breaking some of our dependencies.  Need to retest with NDK
r10c and/or fix gnulib.
