Subject: [PATCH] [3.13] gh-146541: Allow building the Android testbed for
 32-bit targets (GH-146542)

Allows building the Android testbed for 32-bit targets, adding the target triplets
`arm-linux-androideabi` and `i686-linux-android`.
(cherry picked from commit 848bbe9ff21ae0a3ee412cc25843835ace4f75df)
