I think it would be better to call it now as "Supported target platforms and
prerequisites".

+
+You need a C++11 compatible compiler to build libadblockplus.
+
+Win32:
+* Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, 2012
+
+Linux:
+* g++ 5.2
+
+Mac:
+* clang 3.6 for OS X
+
+Android:
+* the host system should be linux or OS X
+* android-ndk-r9, android-ndk-r10c. You can download the latter for [OS X](http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r10c-darwin-x86_64.bin), [Linux 32](http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r10c-linux-x86.bin), [Linux 64](http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r10c-linux-x86_64.bin)
+* g++ multilib
+
+If you have a compilation issue with another compiler please [create an issue](https://issues.adblockplus.org/).

 `build\ia32\libadblockplus.sln` (solution for the 32 bit build) and
 `build\x64\libadblockplus.sln` (solution for the 64 bit build). Unfortunately,
 V8 doesn't support creating both from the same project files.
 * Open `build\ia32\libadblockplus.sln` or `build\x64\libadblockplus.sln` in
 Visual Studio and build the solution there. Alternatively you can use the
 `msbuild` command line tool, e.g. run `msbuild /m build\ia32\libadblockplus.sln`
 from the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt to create a 32 bit debug build.

-You need a C++11 compatible compiler to build libadblockplus.
+First set ANDROID_NDK_ROOT environment variable to your Android NDK directory.
 
-The compilation was tested with the following compilers:
-* g++ 4.8
-* Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, 2012
-* clang 3.4 for Android (from android-ndk-r9)
-* clang 3.6 for OS X

 Usage
 -----
 
 You can use libadblockplus to build an ad blocker. Or, strictly speaking, a web
 content filter. Just like Adblock Plus, it can detect resources that should be
 blocked based on their URL and context information, and generate CSS selectors
 to hide DOM elements.
