Just a heads-up on this important announcements as summurized from the Android NDK Revision 11 (March 2016) announcement:

http://developer.android.com/ndk/downloa...story.html

GCC in the NDK is now deprecated in favor of Clang. The NDK will neither be upgrading to GCC 5.x, nor accept non-critical backports. Also removed support for GCC 4.8. All targets now use GCC 4.9. Maintenance for miscompiles and internal compiler errors in 4.9 will be handled on a case by case basis.

Google strongly recommend switching to Clang. If you experience problems with Clang, file bugs here for issues specific to Clang in the NDK. For more general Clang issues, file bugs by following the instructions on this page. Clang has been updated to 3.8svn (r243773, build 2481030). This version is a nearly pure upstream Clang. The Windows 64-bit downloadable NDK package contains a 32-bit version of Clang.

Thanks for the heads-up

yep i noticed that few weeks ago when installing the NDK.
