This is suspicious. You're cross-compiling for an ARM target and your native
'ar' is most probably not the suitable one.

I think this is a result of no (proper) --target specified. I think
--target=arm-android-eabi can be used.

That too is a sign of configure not getting things right. If you give the
correct target, it should find the correct compiler and with the correct
compiler it should find the correct headers...

Great. I'm sure there are several people who will appreciate your efforts!
