Me either. I tried building Emacs v27 (I think) on Debian (Chromebook
Linux) and the dependencies for GTK were just too big and I wasn't sure
what I'd get without setting up GTK. So I wound up building Lucid Emacs
because the X-server was already there and the dependencies weren't too
big. I lost that build, though, when I power-washed the Chromebook, so
I've been using the pre-built 27.1 that you can get via 'apt install'.
Works, but I wish it supported speech-to-text (interestingly, running
'emacs -nw' on the console does support it).
I see an "Android Debug Bridge" in the Linux setup for the Chromebook,
but I don't know anything about Android.
