Ok. I finally got it working!

Mostly I followed bootchk's advice for building everything statically:
https://plashless.wordpress.com/2014/08/19/using-pyqtdeploy0-5-on-linux-to-cross-compile-a-pyqt-app-for-android/


However, there were quite a few hiccups along the way. I had Android SDK 
22 installed from ADT-Bundle. It seems Google has ditched the 
Eclipse-based bundle in favor of their own Android Studio based on their 
acquisition of IntelliJ. I ended up having to download the NDK again. I 
deleted all of the files in /usr/lib/adt-bundle/ndk and replacing them 
with the tarball. But the permissions were screwy, so ended up chmod -R 
777 the whole NDK directory and chmod -R +x the relevant bin directories.

I used Python 3.4.0 and there was a problem with _posixsubprocess.c  So 
I found the patch and overwrote it in my local source directory. 
Regrettably, I cannot find the link for the c file now.

Statically building PyQt5 took a while. I ran into the same problems 
bootchk did: many modules will fail on make. QWebsocket, QMultimedia*, 
and many others failed. I kept editing the pyqt5-android.cfg file until 
I got no more errors.

Systemwide Qt5 worked just fine for qmake during the static build 
process. I have an update install of Qt5.5 using the Qt Maintenance Tool 
gui program. All of my Qt files seem to be stored in /opt/Qt/

I'm so psyched to start doing some real programming!
