Description
As mentioned in https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/pull/1913#issuecomment-705035467, we could consider re-structuring linux-like stuff, i.e., Android and emscripten so that we could de-duplicate some items and remove make it more consistent.

Done means the scope and resulting structure are agreed and both platforms are covered.
