Description
For the given Android.mk:
```makefile
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := foo
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := foo.c foo.cpp
include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)
```
ndk-build replaces the extension with .o rather than appending it, so foo.o will be either the object file for foo.c or foo.cpp depending on who wins the race.
Should be a trivial fix (use foo.c.o and foo.cpp.o instead of foo.o), but it's also low priority. Would be a good bug for an external contributor looking to get started.

Research direction
Start with the Android.mk example and trace the ndk-build object-file naming rules used for LOCAL_SRC_FILES. Verify the change with both foo.c and foo.cpp, and consider how the build confirms that distinct object files are produced instead of both mapping to foo.o.
