2020-01-07aarch64 r18 is reserved at least on AndroidStephan Bergmann
<https://github.com/ARM-software/software-standards/blob/master/abi/aapcs64/
aapcs64.rst> states: "The role of register r18 is platform specific. If a
platform ABI has need of a dedicated general purpose register to carry inter-
procedural state (for example, the thread context) then it should use this
register for that purpose. If the platform ABI has no such requirements, then
it should use r18 as an additional temporary register."
For a --host=aarch64-linux-android build, Clang warned

9c9c8b22d2ea150cc889232871b0c8303d3644d9> "Start reserving x18 by default on
Android targets" shows that at least LLVM/Clang claims that the Android ABI
reserves it (though it doesn't cite any sources for that).
(If this bridges/source/cpp_uno/ implementation is used for other non-Linux OS
like Fuchsia, we may need to extend the #if accordingly; see the above LLVM
commit for which platforms it claims reserve the register.)
