Android and Microsoft windows must not encode any paths.
When I build PKIX-SSH and OpenSSL binaries I must ensure that those libraries and executable could run in any Android profile.
The packages are "SecureBox Pro" or SecureBox as add-on to "TermOne Plus".
PKIX-SSH binaries use ldns as resolver library. This library uses libtool.

Also to ensure that binaries runs on support API levels elf-cleaner is should be run to "strip" certain sections.
