This error is from our code, not meson's - the simplest fix would be to just map android to linux, similar to how dragonflybsd is mapped to netbsd. Blind attempt attached. It looks like that might be all that's required, as it looks like meson knows that android doesn't properly deal with soversion. Greetings, Andres Freund
