Dunno. The tree exists:
https://github.com/glance-/subsurface/tree/e0610361518e71c6d4964d3c3cbd0a6097399034

Btw, thats a quite old subsurface thats in that repo, so rebase those
patches on a newer subsurface would probably be a good thing.

I would guess that you downloaded a qt build without android support.
The Qt5 I was using was "Qt 5.2.1 for Android (Linux 64-bit, 846 MB)"
downloaded from http://qt-project.org/downloads

I started to rebase those patches but i ran out of steam when trying to
whip libgit2 into the build chain.

I pushed out what it looks like so far.
