ECL is LGPL, which means I can't statically link against it without open sourcing my project (which I can't), but ecl-android generates a static library for it. Since there are so many files and generators, I don't even know where to start to change it to a shared library.

Unless I'm mistaken (disclaimer: I'm no lawyer), dynamic linking is
fine, as it allows to fulfill the requirement that the user be able to
upgrade the LGPL dependencies, while static linking might be
problematic...
