This seems somewhat sad - if ANDROID is turned on the standard ABI
vanishes. It'd be much nicer to do this with a symlink (or with
symlinks within the android directory if the driver core doesn't support
that). That way userspace code can be written to the new ABI and will
work on Android systems without ifdefery.
