Fixed runtime linkage problems for libOpenSLES and libOpenMAXAL
Libraries libOpenSLES and libOpenMAXAL depend on liblog but Android.mk
doesn't specify it. Native app links libOpenSLES or libOpenMAXAL
may fail with the following error message (taking
$NDK/samples/native-media as an example)
E/AndroidRuntime( 824): Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
Cannot load library: link_image[2260]: 82 could not load needed
library 'libOpenMAXAL.so' for 'libnative-media-jni.so'
(mips_relocate_got[1804]: 82 In 'libOpenMAXAL.so',
can't locate symbol __android_log_assert)
The root cause is that both libOpenSLES.so and libOpenMAXAL.so depends on
liblog (containing the offending __android_log_assert) but Android makefile
doesn't specify it. The reason that linker doesn't complain about it
is because "--gc-sections" causes linker to "garbage-collect" which
removes unused (in this case "invisible") functions __assert/__assert2
in both shared libraries. Unfortunately, due to a bug (recently fixed
in 2.22.52 http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13811), linker
forgot to also remove references to dead function __android_log_assert
called in __assert/__assert2.
In theory this should affect all Android devices for native app linking
libOpenMAXAL.so or libOpenSLES.so, but it seems at this moment only MIPS-based
device is affected.
Fixed Android.mk to make it explicit.
