This can be controlled with the --enable-static flag passed to the configure 
scripts. However, there should be static libs as well as shared libs in 
opt/android/lib. I've attached a listing of my directory so you can compare.

I looked into it. It seems that clangs integrated assembler doesn't recognized 
the hand-written asm of libffi. I've updated our build scripts, this should be 
fixed now.

Interestingly, the config.log of libiconv reveals that the provided clang 
compiler is unable to start up:

configure:3894: arm-linux-androideabi-clang --version >&5
/home/osboxes/ANDROID/android-ndk-toolchain/bin/clang60: error while loading 
shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory

Installing libncurses5 should fix this.

Please give it another try on your 18.10 machine. For the sake of completeness, 
I'm also attaching my build logs.
