Ban ELF prebuilts in PRODUCT_COPY_FILES
ELF prebuilts in PRODUCT_COPY_FILES are an build error.
Define prebuilt modules and add them to PRODUCT_PACKAGES instead.
To triage any build break caused by this change, temporarily opt out
this check by setting
BUILD_BROKEN_ELF_PREBUILT_PRODUCT_COPY_FILES := true in BoardConfig.mk.
Bug: 140560012
Test: build_test & verify that either PRODUCT_COPY_FILES has no ELF \
prebuilt or BUILD_BROKEN_ELF_PREBUILT_PRODUCT_COPY_FILES is true
