Title:
  HIPL on Android

Status in Host Identity Protocol for Linux:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  HIPL does not build or work on Android yet. Android platform is
  problematic because it is targeted for java applications. The
  challenges include:

  * DNS proxy is written with python, so it's not possible to port it at all
  * The h/w platform for Android is really picky with memory alignments and 
requires some modifications to the code.
  * Many of the libraries are missing, so HIPL has to be cross-compiled and 
statically linked with some ofthe libraries.

  However, the latest Android 2.3 seems to have OpenSSL already
  available should make the work easier. Please check out (especially
  the end of the latter link):
