+name: Build static rsync for Android
+
+# Cross-compiles statically-linked rsync binaries with the Android NDK,
+# suitable for dropping onto a phone (adb push / Termux) with no shared
+# libraries. arm64-v8a covers all modern phones; armeabi-v7a covers older
+# 32-bit devices. The binaries are uploaded as workflow artifacts.
+#
+# These are cross-compiled, so the test suite can't run here; we sanity
+# check that each binary is the right architecture, is static, and that
+# it executes (`--version`) under qemu-user.
