So, as the above error message states, the getifaddrs(3) function can't be
found, and it's required to implement NetworkInterface.

So grepping the Android dll's, the closest match is
/system/lib/libnativehelper.so which has a _Z10getifaddrsPP7ifaddrs export,
which is the C++ name mangled version of "getifaddrs(ifaddrs**)".

Given that "libnativehelper.so" isn't in the public NDK, and given that it's a
name-mangled C++ export, I'm guessing that Google doesn't want us using this
function...
