After updating from 4.7.6, I now get this error when trying to build to my Android device:

Something about the linker??
The class it calls into question, APhotonLBClient, compiles and works just fine in the engine right now. In fact, there are no problems whatsoever in the engine.
This only happens when building to Android.
I tried reinstalling the Android SDK, to no avail. Really kinda stumped with what to do beyond that.
Perhaps I could move the code over to a new class? I’d rather know if I can do something about it first than try that. It seems like that wouldn’t really matter considering this an Android-specific error. Is there some change with Android build settings that I need to now take into account?
So… what do?
