Android is not a supported platform. Patches to improve the Android build are
welcome. There is no testing on Android in the current continuous integration

```console
$ ./android-configure /path/to/your/android-ndk
$ make
$ source ./android-configure /path/to/your/android-ndk target_arch android_sdk_version
$ make -j4

The Android SDK version should be at least 24 (Android 7.0) and the target
architecture supports \[arm, arm64/aarch64, x86, x86\_64].
