And the crash on Android 16 (i still thing that this is possibly a 
problem of early beta of Android):

$ ./adb install d:/brltty-latest.apk
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install d:/brltty-latest.apk: Failure 
[INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS:

With best
