OSX Android NDK uses wrong Toolchain Version due to missing release file

Hello, when I create a new cocos2d-x project and run the ./build_native.py in the android folder, I get the following output:

Please use cocos console instead.

The problem is in my opinion here:

    Parse NDK version from file /Users/thierrybackes/Library/Android/android-ndk-r11c/RELEASE.TXT failed.
NDK_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION: 4.8

I use the r11c version, which has ndk toolchain version 4.9, and no RELEASE.TXT :

 /Users/thierrybackes/Library/Android/android-ndk-r11c/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++: No such file or directory

By adding a RELEASE.TXT with the ndk version: r11c (64 bit)
I can properly build the natives.
I'm fairly new to Cocos2d-x, so I'm not sure where I should post this, but I think that this is a problem in the native cocos building scripts, when cocos looks for the RELEASE file and Android has removed them (at least for r11c on osx).
I don't know if I'm the only one with those kind of problems, if cocos works differently on other platforms and if the Android NDK version is different on other platforms as well...
