Android GNU Coreutils

A docker image that builds the GNU coreutils binaries for Android.

For each supported Android CPU architecture (x86/ARM/MIPS) it will build both PIE (position independant executable) and non-PIE binaries.

PIE binaries are supported on Android 4.1+ and mandatory on Android L and above.

Automated Build

$ docker run -v $(pwd):/target sonelli/android-coreutils

Manual Build

$ docker run -i -t -v $(pwd):/target sonelli/android-coreutils /home/admin/shell
$ vi ~/build (tweak away)
$ ~/build
$ exit
