I have not compiled FFMPEG for android using toolchain, however, I had a
tough time doing the same with opencv-JNI. This question, asked in
stackoverflow might help you.

I read your ndk building procedure, don't you point Application.mk and
Android.mk files to your toolchain? I mean $NDK-PATH/ndk-build ? Are you
using gradle?
