Installing B2G from an Add-On

Use BUILD_HOST_64bit=1 and/or BUILD_HOST_static=1 when building Android to get
either Linux 64 bits binaries or statically linked binaries. You can combine
both:
  $ ls -l linux/* linux64/*
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex 1437885 mai   25 12:09 linux64/make_ext4fs
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex  784426 mai   25 12:10 linux64/mkbootfs
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex  784346 mai   25 12:10 linux64/mkbootimg
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex 1437885 mai   25 12:12 linux/make_ext4fs
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex  784426 mai   25 12:12 linux/mkbootfs
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex  784346 mai   25 12:12 linux/mkbootimg

Then to save some space, you can strip and pack binaries.

Stripping:
  $ strip linux/* linux64/* && ls -l linux/* linux64/*
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex 844344 mai   25 12:13 linux64/make_ext4fs
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex 595528 mai   25 12:13 linux64/mkbootfs
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex 591024 mai   25 12:13 linux64/mkbootimg
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex 844344 mai   25 12:13 linux/make_ext4fs
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex 595528 mai   25 12:13 linux/mkbootfs
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 alex alex 591024 mai   25 12:13 linux/mkbootimg

Packing:
  $ upx linux/* linux64/* && ls -l linux/* linux64/*
