1.8.3 is the last version that still has autotools support, it was
removed in the 1.9 branch. Unfortunately I don't have access to an armhf
machine to try to fix the armhf build of ninja. I suspect that this is
going to be an issue going forward, as more packages move to a meson
build system.

I'm not against downgrading to 1.8.3 in the mean time to keep the
packages that depend on libinput{,-minimal} available to armhf users,
but it is something that's going to need to be addressed sooner rather
than later.
