I'm trying to cross compile (for armv7a and aarch64, android) the gettext library (dependency for glib). The configuration and compilation is successful, but during installation a relink error occurs:

libtool: error: error: relink 'libgettextsrc.la' with the above command before installing it
At the same time, other libraries (libffi and libiconv) compiled and installed normally.
gettext version: 0.20.2 and 0.21
Android NDK version: r23b and r24
OS version: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
I configure, compile and install like this:
export DEV=${HOME}/dev
export NDK=$DEV/android-ndk-r23b
export TOOLCHAIN=$NDK/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64
#export TARGET=aarch64-linux-android
export TARGET=armv7a-linux-androideabi
export API=26
export AR=$TOOLCHAIN/bin/llvm-ar
export CC=$TOOLCHAIN/bin/$TARGET$API-clang
export AS=$CC
export CXX=$TOOLCHAIN/bin/$TARGET$API-clang++
export LD=$TOOLCHAIN/bin/ld
export RANLIB=$TOOLCHAIN/bin/llvm-ranlib
export STRIP=$TOOLCHAIN/bin/llvm-strip
./configure --host $TARGET --prefix=/opt/android/$TARGET$API --disable-rpath --disable-libasprintf --disable-java --disable-native-java --disable-openmp --disable-curses
make
make install
How can this be fixed?
Thank you!
I was able to compile this library using an old version of the Android NDK (r15c). Based on the compilation of Wireshark 3.4.0. Changed only the following environment variables:
export TARGET=aarch64-linux-android
export HOST=aarch64-eabi
export ARCH=arm64
export TOOLCHAIN=${TARGET}
export NDK_TOOLCHAIN=${DEV}/android-ndk-toolchain-${ARCH}-r15c
