If I am correct in my understanding of how it works, Linux versions should work on Android as well.

The Linux system calls used by cosmopolitan work fine on Android provided they aren't blocked by seccomp policy. Some of those blocks make sense, others not so much. Yesterday I discovered I could use all the stat variants but not statx.

I believe the features provided by standard C libraries are well covered by the set of allowed system calls.

Android is kind of a special child, it uses custom kernel modules like Binder (IPC framework) and Ashmem (Android's garbage collector/memory manager).
