Should be fixed by the patch below.

Yes. Note that it's available in Android libc already at API level 3. It's only
the declaration that was added in API level 9.
Also, if we write '#if HAVE_DECL_SYSINFO' instead of '9 <= __ANDROID_API__',
the change might be helpful also with other Linux-based libcs that may be
developed in the future.

readutmp, boot-time: Fix compilation error on Android API 8.
Reported by Po Lu in
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2023-08/msg00108.html>.
* m4/readutmp.m4 (gl_PREREQ_READUTMP_H): Test whether sysinfo is
declared.
* lib/boot-time-aux.h (get_linux_uptime): Invoke sysinfo only if it is
declared.
* doc/glibc-functions/sysinfo.texi: Mention the Android problem.
