I managed to narrow it down to just one error. The missing 
`_tlsstart` and `_tlsend` symbols were because of the missing 
`void main() {}`, that used to be added automatically in 
d_android v0.0.5 but not in v0.1.0. It worked when I added an 
empty main function.

Most of the other errors were because of the API level of 
Android; for whatever reason, Android Studio chose API level 16 
instead of at least 21, so changing minSdkVersion to 21 in 
build.gradle made those errors go away.

However, I still get one undefined reference to __bss_end__, and 
I don't know how to fix this. Is this also a problem with TLS or 
the API level?

Thanks.
