sounds like it isn't linking against the platform libc.a. i doubt that
rand() is missing in the standard library implementation...maybe
wrapping another function but not missing.

you can try:
$ build.sh VERBOSE=1

to see what the linker is doing.

i haven't tried the Subsurface Android build script, but i get
something like the bellow from the "ndk-build" script when building a
generic test library:

c:/bin/android_ndk/build//../toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/clang++
.exe -Wl,-soname,libtesttest.so -shared
--sysroot=c:/bin/android_ndk/build//../pl
atforms/android-19/arch-arm testtest.o -lgcc  -gcc-toolchain c:/bin/
android_ndk/build//../toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/windows-x86_
64 -no-canonical-prefixes -target armv7-none-linux-androideabi -Wl,--fix-cortex-
a8  -Wl,--build-id -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,-z,noexecstack -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now
 -Wl,--warn-shared-textrel -Wl,--fatal-warnings    -lc -lm -o libtesttest.so

it tells me that it sets the platform location correctly (--sysroot)
and it links against -lc (rand()) should be part libc.a and libc.so).
it also sets the toolchain correctly (-gcc-toolchain) and -lgcc is
located in there.
