For getting redroid running on my Linux system, 3.8 Flash decided to binary patch a .so file instead of getting the AOSP source code and patch/build it properly.
And I saw it do this twice, once for Android 14 and once for Android 16.
I think this is just within 3.8 flash's capabilities.
3.8 Flash (but also last two ones) have really strong preference for dissecting binaries with quick thrown-together bits of python in my experience.
Including going first for decompiling AGY binary instead of searching the web for documentation...
