I'm trying to setup cross compiler for Android-aarch64 with
fpcupdeluxe and a recent FPC trunk but it reports:

Code: [Select]fpcupdeluxe: info: Running Make all (FPC crosscompiler:
aarch64-android) with CROSSOPT: -XPaarch64-linux-android- -Xd

Is this target not supported yet?

Nop. Not supported yet.
There have been some efforts in the past, that have to be re-activated
up again.

Recently, there was a news about this topic.

http://www.techradar.com/news/google-will-require-all-android-apps-to-
be-64-bit-beginning-in-august-2019

Is there any plan for supporting 64-bit Android apps?

AFAIK, no news. I tried to re-init some efforts by other people, but
failed.
It would however be good to have 64bit for Android at this moment
already !

From the website of Free Pascal news (May 29th,2015), the
Linux/AArch64 platform was available in svn trunk. After more than 2
years, there's still no any further information about stable releases.
And no any news about the android support yet. Did I miss something?
