"error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported." You should update this app and recompile everything with -fPIE

I'm using this on android 5.1 - there's a patch for linker on xda that will make this (and other executables 5.0 broke) work again. After patching linker this works like a charm

IT WOOOORKS!!!! YAYYY!!! great support. not that easy to get it working since it can crash and leave you with a half-installed system. but then, you just tell it to install everything again, and hope this time it doesn't crash. and then, you have a full debian system inside your phone.

Update: Problem apps2sd implementation causing Android to run out of available loop devices. Not fault of app itself. Buggers :-( ******************************* Loop device handling no longer functional, thus image can't be mounted.
by L####:
On later versions of Android only PIE files can be executed. This makes the app nonfunctional on recent Android devices.
