The android-x86 images do not include the required shared libraries 
(e.g. /usr/lib/*/libstdc++.so.VERSION).
A statically linked binary may work:
./configure 'LDFLAGS=-static' && make

I recently tested this with smartctl built on an older i686 Debian 
system. It worked using android-x86-4.0-r1-eeepc.iso image started in 
VirtualBox.
