Objectively worse is a bit strong. There was some discussion on the
previous version about the reasoning, but the point is to leave keywords
so that someone re-writing the NDK docs in the future can find it and
then the history will be preserved rather than putting it in a new file
with a new name. Or even someone wondering why their build command
doesn't work has at least something documented about it, even as a negative.

It is critical for the document not delivering any confusion. Keeping
the doc with a clear clarification, or deleting the useless doc, both
are much better than obsolete info.

Of course this all depends on whether we decide the Android build
_should_ be working or not which looks like is also being discussed here.

Yeah, I think the important thing is to get clang/LLVM cross build to
work. This is the prerequisites for using Android NDK.
