People haven't yet got the memo that Linux syscalls aren't official APIs on NDK, and the Google way is to use Java/Kotlin userspace.

So naturally Google breaks "private" APIs whenever they feel like.

(And can we just pretend that I replied the same thing to the other places in the thread you posted the exact same response? No point in duplicating threads)
