Obviously you are cross-compiling, but I don't know how "make -f
Android.cfg targets" relate to the samba build instructions for
cross-compiling, e.g.
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Waf#cross-compiling

Can you follow the samba build instructions without the enclosing
android makefile? (e.g. by settings environment variables that the
android build system sets e.g. CC, LD, ... and then manually running
configure, make, make install, with proper flags to configure)

HTH,
Uri.
