I'm now up and running with the NDK, and actually got the same error as
you did when I tried to build a small gnulib based dummy project.  So it
is certainly an incompatibility between Android and gnulib somewhere.
Now, let's see if I can fix it...  I'll probably continue this thread on
bug-gnulib at gnu.org instead since it is not (yet) to do anything with
GnuPG, just gnulib.
