Hi, I am working on integrating the cpufreq interactive governor with 
scheduler. We would like to verify our results using aim9 benchmark on 
Linux v3.10.28 over Android v4.4.4. Is there a patch available for 
porting aim9 benchmark tools on Android?
Right now I am unable to compile it using the gcc provided with Android 
NDK toolchain in the arm-linux-androideabi-4.8.

Thanks,
Nitin
