Actually dynamic module support should build with Sun C 5.15 (i.e., 
Oracle Solaris Studio 12.6), because Sun C supports GNU C's 
__attribute__ ((cleanup)) extension. I think icc also supports that 
extension. Not that I've ever used modules on those platforms.

As I vaguely recall, this issue came up in 2015 when Emacs modules were 
added, and it was decided that there wasn't a practical way to get Emacs 
modules to work if the compiler did not support a cleanup attribute of 
some sort.

I'm a bit surprised that the Android NDK doesn't support the attribute, 
though, as I thought it was based on Clang. Perhaps there's an alternate 
compiler you can use to build on Android.
