https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/979
Indeed, compiling 0.9.3 on Android was a pain. I had to get the cross
compile cmake file from another project.
Since I was using Qt fro Android development, using QSocket was an easier
to cross compile thrift for Android.
However I am not interested anymore to take this any further.---
