Turns out it's not that simple.
* The first thing we'll see after trying to run is a cryptic message: `./clickhouse: file is not found`. But it's right there! `strace` helps: what cannot be found is `/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2`, a linker specified in the ClickHouse binary. The linker, in this case, is a system program that initially loads the application binary and its dependencies before passing control to the application. Android uses a different linker located by another path, this is why we get the error. This problem can be overcome if we call the linker explicitly, e.g. `/system/bin/linker64 $(readlink -f ./clickhouse)`.

This problem can be overcome if we call the linker explicitly, e.g. `/system/bin/linker64 $(readlink -f ./clickhouse)`.
* Immediately we encounter another problem: the linker complains that the binary has a wrong type `ET_EXEC`. What does this mean? Android binaries must support dynamic relocation, so that they can be loaded at any address, probably for ASLR purposes. ClickHouse binaries do not normally use position-independent code, because we have measured that it gives a small performance penalty of about 1%. After tweaking compilation and linking flags to include `-fPIC` as much as possible, and battling some really weird linker errors, we finally arrive at a relocatable binary that has a correct type `ET_DYN`.
