Description of the problem / feature request:

On Android, bazel always libc++_static instead of libc++_shared.so

I want to make so link with libc++_shared.so, but bazel always libc++_static.a.

https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/rules/android/AndroidBinary.java

  private static RuleConfiguredTargetBuilder init(
      RuleContext ruleContext,
      NestedSetBuilder<Artifact> filesBuilder,
      CppSemantics cppSemantics,
      JavaSemantics javaSemantics,
      AndroidSemantics androidSemantics)
      throws InterruptedException, RuleErrorException {

    ResourceDependencies resourceDeps =
        ResourceDependencies.fromRuleDeps(ruleContext, /* neverlink= */ false);

    validateRuleContext(ruleContext);

    NativeLibs nativeLibs =
        NativeLibs.fromLinkedNativeDeps(
            ruleContext,
            ImmutableList.of("deps"),
            androidSemantics.getNativeDepsFileName(),
            cppSemantics); // always create static mode cc_library!!!!!!

Feature requests: what underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

I have many libraries depends libc++, if I use libc++_static, every library contains libc++_static, which make apk too large.

I want to package libc++_shared.so, how do I do?
