Sadly, no. Android isn't running on native ARM. The sysroot is completely different, and the Android NDK changes the c & C++ standard libs to be compatible with different Android OS versions. It's really complicated from what little I know. If the intent is for the code to function in an Android environment, the only option is cross compiling via Android NDK. Literally every other OSS library we use can be built this way. OpenSSL, Boost, etc. It's not the answer the developers want to hear, I'm sure, but the build system just needs to be fixed. But of course, if there's rarely a use case for SVN on Android, then there may not be much of a case to make it a priority or worth the effort. That's likely the status quo.
