### Expected behavior

It has recently become possible to use doomemacs in Android emacs: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1aif4wy/use_doomemacs_on_android/
A stumbling block is that Android does not recognize /usr/bin/env in script Shebang.
There is an env command in Termux, but the path to env from Android emacs does not start with "/usr/bin".
So I change the Shebang to "#!/system/bin/sh", which of course is not portable. But if I modify anything in
~/.config/emacs then I can not run "doom upgrade".
So can we perhaps in doom/bin have a parallel set of scripts, for Android emacs, with just the Shebang changed to
"#!/system/bin/sh". Or is there a better mechanism?
I am of course willing to help, and can make a pull request, or whatever, but perhaps someone has a better idea?

### Current behavior

The doom script out of the box, fails to run because /usr/bin/env is not found.

### Steps to reproduce

Start Android emacs. Try to execute the unmodified doom script.
