on_exit() is only available in new versions of glibc.
Using on_exit on Android leads to errors at compile time.

Replacing on_exit with its more portable version atexit.
This leads to using a global variable since on_exit supports
sending a parameters while atexit does not.

Bernhard's patch implements on_exit. Why not go that route?

The exit functions need the commands status to know whether to attempt to process records. See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/26/123

Processing records on non-0 exit causes a segfault as the session has been deleted.
