I now tried to rebuild for i386. This is the command I used (I already 
replaced GOLD by the BFD linker):

make all OS_TARGET=android CPU_TARGET=i386 
BINUTILSPREFIX=i686-linux-android- 
CROSSBINDIR=D:\Android\android-ndk-r8c\toolchains\x86-4.6\prebuilt\windows\bin 
CROSSOPT="-FlD:\Android\android-ndk-r8c\platforms\android-14\arch-x86\usr\lib"

This is the result:

=== output begin ===

=== output end ===

Did I miss some specific options?
