 When looking at commit f73f0125252cdf18596291c45ba3d92cb719b883:

 You define `var/configure_opt` to `--disable-static` in
 `project/libevent/config` for all platforms except android. I think this
 is wrong as `var/configure_opt` already has some values defined in
 `rbm.conf`, so we override those values which will probably break the
 build on non-android platforms.

 By the way in ticket:28704#comment:14 I said this:
 > it seems we could have a var/configure_opt for android in `rbm.conf`
 containing something like `CC=clang --host=[% c("var/host") %] [%
 c("var/configure_opt_project") %]`, where `var/configure_opt_project` is
 defined in each project to define options specific to this project
 I still think that would be a good idea. If you don't think so, then
 please at least explain why instead of just ignoring comments and not
 doing the changes suggested.

 Regarding update to version `2.1.11`, I think it would be a good idea to
 mention it in the commit message. Or maybe do it as a separate commit
 (with #31499 as the bug number) as this is a change that affect all
 platforms.
