I should advise you now that the breadth of Android systems supported by
Emacs is non-negotiable as a matter of principle for myself, who am sick
and tired of Android apps that observe the Google-endorsed practice of
abandoning perfectly workable systems as soon as an overreaching
corporation pronounces them obsolescent. I suggest that you cooperate
by installing the very trivial patch now in "admin/gnulib-patches/lib",
to wit:
diff --git a/lib/getloadavg.c b/lib/getloadavg.c
