Before that change, argc/argv were simply not initialized in ARM shared libraries and hence were always 0. Maybe the difference is that earlier, you always got paramcount=0 and now you get a crash on Android. I would not call that a breaking change though, only another incompatibility of Android with regular Linux (which is their full right, since they don't advertise Linux-compatibility afaik).
