Source? On Android and under ARC you're SOL if an NDK app doesn't provide binaries for your architecture. This is rarely an issue though, as most apps just opt to ship with binaries compiled for every supported ABI.

That's not really true - x86 devices mostly come with libhoudini layer which can load and translate ARMv7 binaries on the fly. Hence if the app ships armeabi code you're pretty much set.

ARC is dead. The Android Framework in ChromeOS is now a container.
