No, you can build that later without problem.

With 4.5.1 we introduced the "include" keyword for strongswan.conf, 
which allows to use file patterns (e.g. include /etc/ipsec.d/*.conf).
Resolving such patterns uses the glob function declared in glob.h. 
Which as you saw is not provided by the C library on Android.  This 
issue has already been reported last week [1], and I will push a fix for 
it as soon as possible.

Tobias
