I think there must be something different about having 20.04 working and
then upgrading in place to 22.04.  I may do an experiment if I have time.
I'm doing fixes/32 only when testing 22.04.

After I had 20.04 production arm and arm64 apks for fixes/32, I did try
master just to see since I have a master FE/BE combo testing system working
fine on Master, but while libs built, apks failed hard and early.  I didn't
even try to figure out what was missing.

Both the 20.04 and 22.04 android builder systems were just VMs so they were
fresh systems with just what it took to run the android builds.  My new
Readme.md was strictly 20.04, fresh VM  and it's repeatable.  Since I can
build a 20.04 VM as easily as 22.04, I really don't care, but someone will
try 22.04 naturally and it will fail. If I could identify the problem that
would be good to note the changes, but otherwise I may want a 20.04 only
warning in the readme.
