Could be? I have not seen any bug reports or similar issues for other
programs that seem related though, but android arm is fairly
rare these days. I am dreaming of finding a workaround on the emacs
side of things as I can not modify the system libraries (well not
easily anyways). I suppose I need to learn more about sigsetjmp and
friends to have a chance at that.

Yes, sorry for not being clear. I am running inside a terminal
emulator for android called termux, all programs are linked against
android's libc, bionic. Compilers and other tools needed for compiling
emacs are available, but there is no x11 so emacs can only be run in -nw
mode.
