Research direction

Start by inspecting the Android verifier path associated with rustls-platform-verifier/src/android.rs:90:10 and reproduce the standalone aarch64-linux-android binary from a Termux shell. Determine how the initialization failure is surfaced; done means the Termux case no longer ends with an unhelpful panic message.
