Android x86_64 support is necessary to work on Androidx86 based systems. There are a growing number of these in the form of Android x86 project and the various distributions based on it such as Bliss OS. as well as for supporting waydroid, which is running android side by side with linux (not an emulator, this allows you to use android as a "primary" and/or secondary OS along with a linux install).

There is a growing number of these systems and it would be nice to have seal support in these systems.
