Description Vince Harron 2015-05-08 15:02:43 PDT 
API 21+ requires executables be compiled with -fPIE

So we've enabled -fPIE on lldb-server

Unfortunately, support for PIE only was added to Android in API 14+

We can probably create a trampoline application without PIE that loads the real lldb-server with dlopen and calls main
Comment 1 Tamas Berghammer 2015-05-18 07:03:30 PDT 
Other option for solving this problem is to embedded lldb-server into it's own apk (with one ABI per apk) and then the zygote will behave like a trampoline.
