Android has it's own build system, and those makefiles can't be generated with autotools. This was a contentious issue when Chia-I Wu and I ported Mesa to Android and led to a discussion [1] on mesa-dev. Below is quoted my key email from that discussion (the Dan I'm speaking to is a Debian maitainer).
