Thanks - successfully compiled and ran. Startup performance and menu 
handling is fine. Playback OK (not deinterlaced) for SD, useless for 
1080i. Not being offered hardware decoding with the patches applied. 
Will try again once the patches are issued in case I screwed up. The 
only real issue for compilation -  is 32-bit ABI bugs 
<https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/docs/32-bit-abi.md>     
which requires that the compilation option _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to be 
removed. Presumably this will limit file sizes to 2GB so probably makes 
32 bit a none starter.
