I use Code IDE to build default project for Android
MacOS Yosemite
NDK - android-ndk-r9d
Code IDE - 1.0.1

Ndk build failed!

Solution: 
Add 
LOCAL_ARM_MODE := arm
to files
/runtime-scr/proj.android/jni/Android.mk 
/js-bindings/bindings/Android.mk

Thanks for ucchen post

I tried with 
Code IDE 1.0 + NDK - android-ndk-r10
Code IDE 1.0 + NDK - android-ndk-r9d

all times have this issue (((

when i build debug android package, it is ok, but build release android package, it is fail.

last i have found soluction, add "LOCAL_ARM_MODE := arm" to /runtime-scr/proj.android/jni/Android.mk /js-bindings/bindings/Android.mk. it will be compile success.

but i don't know why use 32bit order set will be ok.

@pandamicro @ludingping 
why cocos2d-x js 3.1 rc0 compile android release version show this "error: relocation overflow in R_ARM_THM_CALL " and compile debug version is ok . after add "LOCAL_ARM_MODE := arm", compile release version success. what different between arm and thumd ?

I found this topic
It's seem very informative

Producing optimised NDK code for multiple architectures?

asked by  rbcc on  05:41AM - 23 Feb 11

android, c, gcc, jni

ARM processors have 2 general instruction sets that they support: "ARM" and "Thumb". Though there are different flavors of both, ARM instructions are 32 bits each and Thumb instructions are 16 bits. The main difference between the two is that ARM instructions have the possibility to do more in a single instruction than Thumb can. For example a single ARM instruction can add one register to another register, while performing a left shift on the second register. In Thumb one instruction would have to do the shift, then a second instruction would do the addition.

i tried to make apk for HelloWorld application.

i tried to make app using with and without LOCAL_ARM_MODE := arm but could not get success.

Please help.

I fixed issue with next environment
MacOS Yosemite
NDK - android-ndk-r9d
Code IDE - 1.0.1

I found ndk-r10c in your log 
Please try use android-ndk-r9d

After ading LOCAL_ARM_MODE := arm in files, i still have this problem..
My env : cocos2D-js 3.1, windows 8.1 64 bits, android ndk r9d.

cocos compile -p android works
cocos compile -p android -m release crash

I don't know why 

EDIT : I created a project with cocos console and copy/past my old source in new project. Compilation with release mode works. Problem solved
