I'm running around in circles, but so far failed to find the actual log. Can you add the link?

Please click on the "Show log" line in the issue.

As, I was looking for a link ... It is not entirely clear to me what is going on. It seems related to QLF installation. That is still broken in 9.2.23, explaining part of the error. It is not clear what happens with libarchive though. Early it claims it is not present, later it configures it anyway but then it seems it cannot load the .so file. Similar with Python and Java. A number of the issues are already fixed in 9.3.24 and more in the current GIT version. If you cannot build from the git version, it might be best to wait for 9.3.25. Then we can see what remains. You can most likely get it to build using -DINSTALL_QLF=OFF, but that is a pity as using the .qlf libraries is particularly useful on slow mobile devices.

Thanks for the hint. I have tried the current master branch of this repository and it builds without any error. Some directories are missing after installing it, e.g. PREFIX/lib/swipl/doc/packages/examples/, PREFIX/lib/swipl/lib/arm64-android/, PREFIX/lib/swipl/library/ext/. would that cause any issue?

Sounds dubious. What happens if you run ?- check_installation. in the final system?
