 * Python now requires some C99 support in the toolchain to build. For more
 information, see :pep:`7`.
 
+* Cross-compiling CPython with the Android NDK and the Android API level set to
+ 21 (Android 5.0 Lollilop) or greater, runs successfully. While Android is not
+ yet a supported platform, the Python test suite runs on the Android emulator
+ with only about 16 tests failures. See the Android meta-issue :issue:`26865`.
+
 * The ``--with-optimizations`` configure flag has been added. Turning it on
 will activate LTO and PGO build support (when available).
 (Original patch by Alecsandru Patrascu of Intel in :issue:`26539`.)
