[Crash-utility] Kernel Crash Analysis on Android

[Dave Anderson]

I'm presuming that your Ubuntu machine is an x86_64 host,
and you're trying to build a 32-bit kexec-tools package
that you can install on your Android setup.  I am not
sure how that is done.  But for help on kexec-tools,
you should be posting to the kexec-list mailing list:

  http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec

This list is specific to the crash utility issues.
