Thanks for the responses, I sincerely appreciate it.
I was able to build lemon for my host machine, and compile the majority of the project. My goal is to get libwireshark working on Android as a shared library. It seems to build successfully as a static library, so I am going to try build it as a shared library and test it out on Android.
I changed some of the build variables in the lemon configuration file to get around this for now.

And we do, in fact, do tests such as that. For example, we run code to test whether the GLib module mechanism, which we use as a platform-independent mechanism for loading modules (plugins) at run time, is available. If it's always present in GLib 2.x - i.e., if GLib won't compile on a platform that has no module-loading mechanism the GLib module mechanism can use - or if there's a better way to test whether the host-system supports run-time module loading, we could fix that.
We also test whether dladdr() can be used to find a file name for the executable. That one might be harder to do for cross compilation.
There's also a check for a pre-BIND82 inet_pton() bug - perhaps that's so old and crufty that we don't need to care about it any more.
