Android NDK: How to get compiler architecture in Android.mk dynamically

I'm trying to configure Android.mk to cross compile native code to support different chipset namely armeabi, mips, and x86. I know I can configure Application.mk in the following way to compile the source code for different chip set:

APP_ABI := all

This will trigger Android-NDK's build script to compile the source code for all the chipsets. However, I want to dynamically tell Android.mk to look for different static library dependencies compiled with different chip set.

# Get the architecture info
ARCH := ????

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE:= mylib
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= build/lib/libxxx_$(ARCH).a
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)
include $(PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY)

Is this possible to do? If so, can anyone advice how to do so?

Update: I tried something like this in Application.mk:

 APP_ABI := armeabi armeabi-v7a mips x64

with Android.mk:

# Get the architecture info
ARCH := $(APP_ABI)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE:= mylib
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= build/lib/libxxx_$(ARCH).a
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)
include $(PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY)

but it errors with the following:

 The LOCAL_SRC_FILES for a prebuilt static library should only contain one item

which makes sense. I want to pass APP_ABI := all in Application.mk and be able to dynamically reference it. Any ideas?

There is TARGET_ARCH variable that holds the value of the current ABI being built. You can use it the following way:

ifeq ($(TARGET_ARCH),x86)
    LOCAL_CFLAGS   := $(COMMON_FLAGS_LIST)
else
    LOCAL_CFLAGS   := -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=softfp $(COMMON_FLAGS_LIST)
endif

If you specify APP_ABI := armeabi-v7a armeabi mips x86 or APP_ABI := all in your Application.mk you will get each and every separate ABI value.

Check TARGET_ARCH_ABI:

ifeq($(TARGET_ARCH_ABI), armeabi-v7a)
  # v7a-specific stuff
endif
