Disabling jemalloc for Android fixes a build failure since jemalloc does not build out of the box for that platform on older API versions.
Android started using jemalloc as the system allocator around 2014 for most devices. In the latest Android version (11) the system allocator has been switched to Scudo, which while not being jemalloc is modern and actively maintained and should be used for most software on Android.
