Hi, we now have NDK builds using the Linaro 4.8 compilers: https://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/android-ndk/latest
They will (usually) be updated daily w/ the latest updates in the toolchain. Please give it a try.
Since NDKs typically contain several compilers, is there any interest in having the 4.7 based toolchain in there as well?
