Faiure building Emacs on Termux [Android]

Faiure building Emacs on Termux [Android]

[Angelo Graziosi]

Just for completeness (*) I want to flag this issue found on Termux (https://termux.com) with Android 11.

Last month I have built Emacs master successfully but now it fails with current master with:

[...]
Dumping under the name bootstrap-emacs.pdmp
Dumping fingerprint: 70b3a076b1a661ed4685908aa7877719d47b84852de10d10a5d512b682759d45

The last revision which builds is with this source:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/snapshot/emacs-e56ad2cb0f0cff2b7c2359bc3fa0b432dfd571f5.tar.gz

(commit: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=e56ad2cb0f0cff2b7c2359bc3fa0b432dfd571f5)

while the first that fails in that way is:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/snapshot/emacs-e3b8ddd5005903465ec86823559a2e884c7b13f2.tar.gz

To build I have applied the patches that Termux people uses for Emacs 27 (https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/tree/master/packages/emacs) and configured with:

[...]

Any idea about the build failure?
