[BRLTTY] building brlapi for Android (ARM processor)

[Shiri Azenkot]

Right. Sorry, that was not the right reference. That site shows how to build
for arm, rather than specifically for Android.

Autoconf will you the host as the prefix to the cross-compiler tools. The
android tools are prefixed with "arm-eabi" (as I mentioned in a previous
email), so if I run configure with "--host arm-eabi-linux-gnu", autoconf
will look for "arm-eabi-linux-gnu-gcc" and fail.

I don't have a thorough understanding of autoconf and cross-compiling, so
I'm not entirely clear on the inner workings of all this...
