Android :: Failure On Loading Library ?

I have a similar problem to this question, but slightly different. I have compiled a .so library to use with JNI. Because it is large (15 MB), I am putting it on the SDCard instead of in the standard application place.

The file is called libSample.so and it's located at /data/library/libSample.so

I load it in a static initialization block:

CODE:.............

Here's the relevant logcat output:

I read the post about can android load dll's from sdcard in native mode which said that the sdcard cannot be used to load libraries, so I moved the .so into /data/data/com.example.hellojni/lib/libSample.so (the private app data storage location). No change:

CODE:.............................

What I don't understand is that clearly the library exists, and the OS is trying to load it ... so what would make it fail?

Following the advice of one of the commentors, I tried attaching via strace to get more detailed error information. The log can be found as a github gist.

The error appears to be on lines 47-51:

Here's the readelf of the library:
