It's mostly segfaults, several modules segfault when their tests 
are run.  I'm guessing this is because of some ABI issue.  I 
believe most Android/ARM systems are softfp, so testing on 
linux/ARM-hardfp is probably worthless anyway.  I need to try 
softfp on a softfp system and see what happens.

OK, will look at that when I get the tests not to segfault. :)
