The library loader will try to look for libraries that most closely match the architecture that you're running on. In general, you should compile one version of the library for each of the abis that you're planning to support (armeabi, armeabi-v7a, x86, mips) so that the compiler can optimize correctly.

The directory structure is how Android determines which lib to load, so it's critical you don't change it.
