Hello,
With reference to [1], are those android-$arch-$package packages
allowed in AUR? [2]
Packages in the AUR should be useful on Arch Linux, which is
currently an x86_64-only distribution.
It seems that those packages are for Android (not useful on Arch),
which may not meet the above requirement.
Best regards,

Jt seems my previous reply[1] was not seen, so I added all posters in
this thread in the to-list of this message.
A substantial amount of arch users build programs for other
architectures on their archlinux systems .
This is called cross compiling .
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cross-compiling_tools_package_guidelines
shows how to setup an archlinux system to do that.
The mingw packages are used to build windows programs on archlinux systems .
I looked at a few of the android-* packages and they appear to have a
similar purpose.
TL;DR : the mingw and android packages are useful on an archlinux system
and acceptable for AUR.
