3. What did you do?
   If possible, provide a recipe for reproducing the error.
   A complete runnable program is good.
   A link on play.golang.org is best.

   $ go get golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/gomobile
   $ gomobile init
   $ go get -d golang.org/x/mobile/example/basic
   $ gomobile build -target=android golang.org/x/mobile/example/basic
   

4. What did you expect to see?

Build should complete without error messages.

1. What did you see instead?

   gomobile: /home/nick/go/pkg/gomobile/android-ndk-r12/x86/bin/i686-linux-android-nm /tmp/gomobile-work-840948909/lib/x86/libbasic.so: fork/exec /home/nick/go/pkg/gomobile/android-ndk-r12/x86/bin/i686-linux-android-nm: no such file or directory
   

Comment: there is no such a file indeed. But when I changed mobile/cmd/gomobile/init.go line 31 (var useStrippedNDK = true) to var useStrippedNDK = false, re-compiled, re-init and re-build sample, it was able to build it. And indeed i686-linux-android-nm is now in place.
