Short term, yes, whoever wants to build this against KitKat can just revert this locally. Long term, considering this is in AOSP and is part of eng/userdebug builds, it's likely to be automatically available in future versions of Android. We ended up having to tweak the Android.mk again in the AOSP tree, since the current one is doing an "include" of the external Makefile, which in turns overrides the default "clean" rule and leaks some pattern rules such as %.o, etc. which affect the rest of Android build. For more details, please take a look at this Gerrit: https://android-review.googlesource.com/166104 I'm cc'ing Ying who spotted the problem and suggested the changes. One problem with the current approach is that there's duplication of the names of the source files between Android.mk and Makefile, I was thinking perhaps we could introduce a common.mk or sources.mk that's included from both and only has the variables that can be used by both? Suggestions are welcome. As mentioned in the initial thread, one option is to drop Android.mk from upstream altogether and maintain it in our AOSP downstream. Thanks!
