Are you trying to build with targetSDKVersion=23?  That enables the
TEXTREL check, and using <=22 disables it.

I'm still building with targetSDKVersion=19, and running the app on M
(AOSP 6.0.1 userdebug from MMB29K on a N5X).  I guess if we want to
bump it up to 23 to use the modern Java APIs, we'll need to fix the
TEXTRELs in the native code first.
