Thanks for the effort.  I was quite excited for this.

For now, I was trying to make an out-of-tree build without gnutls.  This
configuration appears to be broken (though, not due to gnutls):

  make[2]: Entering directory '/home/arsen/gnu/emacs-android/build/java'
  make[2]: *** No rule to make target '../java/Makefile.in', needed by 'Makefile'.  Stop.
  make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/arsen/gnu/emacs-android/build/java'

I'll report a fix when I come up with one.

Have a lovely day.
