The check fails because it checks for
"$ANDROID_NDK_HOME/platforms/android-${ANDROID_API_LEVEL}/arch-${ANDROID_ARCH}/usr/lib/libc.a"

api-level is set to 14 currently - but NDK 18 dropped support for
anything older than 16.

→ So change it to  ANDROID_API_LEVEL=16 in configure.ac

(not that you'll also need to adjust android/source/build.gradle and
external/owncloud-android-lib/build.gradle accordingly)
