There is the ability to use a different startup code. It just works a 
bit complicated, because it works on the type of the detected c-library. 
Especially when cross compiling one needs to be careful. E.g. I myself 
have a glibc i386 system, but cross compile for a uclibc ARM one.
The responsible code is in $fpcdir/compiler/systems/t_linux.pas and 
there TLinkerLinux.InitSysInitUnitName. So in theory it should be 
possible to extend this by a detection for the Android bionic library 
(as the library needs to be available when cross compiling this should 
at least in theory be possible).
