+Following the installation instructions for termux fails on multiple
+phones (including my own) with "Bad system call" when it comes to running
+git-annex.
+
+My guess as to what has happened is that the arm64 build has been updated
+to use a newer version of glibc etc, and that is trying to use a syscall
+that the Android kernel is too old to support. (Kernel 4.19 in my phone's
+case.)
+
+Unsure when it broke, but the arm64 build is built on Debian testing
+for whatever reason, so it's will need a reasonably recent kernel. Perhaps
+there should be an equivilant of the i386-ancient build for older arm64
+systems? arm64 has by now been around as long as the Debian jessie used for
+i386-ancient. --[[Joey]]

+Reproduced the same thing on my Pixel 5 with CalyxOS.
+
+My guess as to what has happened is that the arm64 build has been updated
+to use a newer version of glibc etc, and that is trying to use a syscall
+that the Android kernel is too old to support. (Kernel 4.19 in my phone's

+
+I suggest you try the Nix-On-Droid installation method instead, if you
+don't really need to use termux.
