Description
Hi there! I'd like to run Sharp on Android, but Android doesn't support libvips by default. I've tried to install libvips via Termux, but the package hasn't been ported. Would you be opening to creating prebuilds for Android? I saw [this workaround](https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/1889#issuecomment-535840238), but I'm concerned about compatibility (for Sharp *and* other native modules).
Thanks!

Done means a documented, maintainable prebuild approach or a clear conclusion that the request is not feasible.
