 The latest nightly builds are failing when building go for android on all
 architectures:
 http://f4amtbsowhix7rrf.onion/reports/r/tor-browser-2019-12-14/tor-
 browser_build.html

 The go build logs contain:
 {{{
 Installed Go for linux/amd64 in /var/tmp/build/go1.4
 Installed commands in /var/tmp/build/go1.4/bin
 patching file cmd/go/internal/work/action.go
 patching file cmd/link/internal/ld/lib.go
 Hunk #1 succeeded at 445 (offset -8 lines).
 Building Go cmd/dist using /var/tmp/build/go1.4.
 go tool dist: cannot invoke C compiler "/var/tmp/dist/android-toolchain
 /android-ndk/x86_64/bin/clang": exit status 127

 Go needs a system C compiler for use with cgo.
 To set a C compiler, set CC=the-compiler.
 To disable cgo, set CGO_ENABLED=0.

 Command output:

 /var/tmp/dist/android-toolchain/android-ndk/x86_64/bin/clang60: error
 while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object
 file: No such file or directory
 }}}

 Looking at the commits from that day, the most likely cause seems to be
 #31130.
