Hm, I spotted at least one problem, and I don't know how it got past me. So let me know if this is enough to fix it:

metaeducation/ren-c@aba507c

Same error, in line 113

@giuliolunati Hm, well the error says what's wrong... the REBVAL is supposed to be a certain size and it's not. Something is throwing it off that's unique to Android, because the travis builds for other platforms are working:

https://travis-ci.org/metaeducation/ren-c

Could you try that SHOW_SIZEOFS define and see if you can figure out why it's not coming out to the right size?

For this structure:

https://github.com/metaeducation/ren-c/blob/master/src/include/sys-rebval.h#L701

On 32-bit platforms it expects a 32-bit header, a 32-bit "extra", and a 64-bit payload...

Ok... well, darn. Why are none of the other builds getting this error? :-/

Thanks, I am on it...!

[giuliolunati]

Note:
sizeof(void *) == 4
sizeof(REBVAL) == 20

Ok, well this involves two of my least favorite types... the money type and the event type...and I'm not overly concerned about them over the long term. But here's an attempt to workaround the issue for now:

metaeducation/ren-c@01699d7

It works! :-)
