By default the linker will not link an application against libfplutil_main or libfplutil_print as the application will not typically reference symbols in the libraries. Therefore the linker must be instructed to always link against the libraries. This can be achieved by using:

LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES when using Android NDK makefiles.
--whole-archive linker flag when directly using the compiler toolchain.

For example, a build target in an Android NDK makefile which builds an application that links against both libfplutil_main and libfplutil_print may look like this:

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE:=myapp
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:=$(LOCAL_PATH)/main.c
LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES:=android_native_app_glue libfplutil_main \
    libfplutil_print
LOCAL_ARM_MODE:=arm
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
$(call import-add-path,path/to/fplutil)
$(call import-module,android/native_app_glue)
$(call import-module,libfplutil/jni)

LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES adds --whole-archive to the linker command line for each of the listed libraries.

Linking with libfplutil_print

When using the Android make system (ndk-build), linking libfplutil_print will automatically wrap calls to stdio and iostreams. When imported using import-module, the module exports the appropriate flags for the compiler and linker:

$(call import-module,libfplutil/jni)

When using the toolchain directly, to link against libfplutil_print, you must manually wrap the functions it implements manually. To wrap functions, pass the corresponding --wrap=<name> option on your link line.

For example:

LDFLAGS+= -Wl,--wrap=perror,--wrap=fflush,--wrap=fprintf,--wrap=vprintf \
          -Wl,--wrap=putc,--wrap=fputc,--wrap=putchar,--wrap=puts \
          -Wl,--wrap=fputs,--wrap=fwrite,--wrap=write,--wrap=writev \
          -Wl,--wrap=printf
CFLAGS+= -fno-builtin-printf -fno-builtin-fprintf \
          -fno-builtin-fflush -fno-builtin-perror -fno-builtin-vprintf \
          -fno-builtin-putc -fno-builtin-putchar -fno-builtin-fputc \
          -fno-builtin-fputs -fno-builtin-puts -fno-builtin-fwrite \
          -fno-builtin-write -fno-builtin-writev
