truecrypt team: Please try recompiling your app with Android NDK r8b or 
greater. This will fix this bug.

Thanks for the report, and thanks for suggesting a fix. Will rebuild with r8c.

@anilkpatel: Could you test the encfs binary that ships with 0.7.6? It's been 
built with r8c and shouldn't produce this error.
TrueCrypt had to be built with Crystax NDK 7 because of incomplete wchar 
support in the official NDK. It's a known problem:
http://www.crystax.net/trac/ndk/ticket/112
If it can't be resolved on the Crystax side, we'll have to switch to the 
official NDK and find a wchar workaround.

On testing the encfs binary on 0.7.6, here is what I did:
1. Launch terminal with Expert->Start root terminal
2. Enter "encfs" at the terminal command prompt

RESULT:
Got the encfs usage message.  In other words, the linker error that I saw using 
the truecrypt binaries is not present with encfs.

Let me know if there are additional steps you want me to try.
I appreciate your help.

Thanks for your quick test. We'll have to wait for a reply from the Crystax 
team now.

The new binary works.  The linker error is gone.  Thanks for the quick 
turnaround!
Now I have a different error with the mounting, but I can open another issue 
for that.

Do you have a "mount" command sitting in /system/xbin/mount? If not, try to 
install BusyBox from the Play Store.

Yes, I have a mount command in /system/xbin/mount.  This is linked to my 
busybox mount.  The mount was failing because I had not created the target 
mount directory first.  Once I did that, the mount succeeds.  However, there is 
an issue with limited file accessibility.  I've created issue #47 to describe 
it.
