• Find a way to produce a standalone archive instead of a thin one. Keywords in the ninja build files: standalone_static_library, alink and alink_thin.
• Find a way to produce an -fPIC library (it could be possible to specify additional flags via a ninja build flag)
• Skip building the test suite (it could be possible to give ninja a specific target to build)
• Use the system toolchain instead of the built-in ones (see ninja argument)
• Use the system binutils
• Use the system ld

Given 6.6 is now out and stable and GYP is gone, I am reaching out on Twitter to see if anyone can help us out here!
