Only because you keep insisting that it's needed.  My preference is to
leave it "default ON" on all platforms.  I see no reason why having
Android users see the error and re-run configure with ifavailable (if
needed) would be such a catastrophe.  We _want_ Emacs to be capable of
loading modules, and we want the user to be aware if the build cannot
do that, so that the user could take the remedial action if possible.

The users who build Emacs on Android aren't necessarily Android
experts.  They could be Emacs experts who just happen to use Android.
Why not make sure they are acutely aware of the issue?

(I don't believe we are still arguing about this nit.  Why on Earth?)
