I am using android-ndk-r8d. Does anyone know what is causing this warning or how to remove them.

Answer 1

This is apparently a known "issue" (behaviour) of the new linker that was introduced in R8C. See this bug report. These warnings can result from having stripped non-global symbols from the objects files that the linker needs to perform fixups.

That discussion yielded two suggested workarounds:

1) Remove all instances of strip -x in your makefile (if any exist).

2) Build with make STRIP=

Subauricular

i had seen this issue and its solution but did not understand how to fix it since my make file did not have any strip -x. I am new to native development so please explain. am i supposed to run the make file in my application or the file named make in NDK – Graeme

I'm seconding this question - it's not clear how to apply this fix for an Android NDK build. Do we need to manually tweak the build files in the NDK? – Heptavalent
