There are many application which suffer from this error. It occurs on Android 4.2 with project compiled using specific Android NDK - for me it was r8d, but you can find also people with other versions with that bug. Workaround I found is mentioned here. The solution is to add following lines of code in any of your .cpp files:

#ifdef __cplusplus
    extern "C" {
#endif

void __exidx_start() {}
void __exidx_end()   {}

#ifdef __cplusplus
    }
#endif

For me it worked.

But I think you must watch out, because in future version of NDK, when they finally fix this, these symbols might be defined twice, so this workaround will transform into a bug, actually.
