ERROR: Failed building wheel for frida
Failed to build frida
ERROR: Could not build wheels for frida, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

These errors look to me like:

The package you are trying to install doesn’t have a pre-compiled file that matches the platform/architecture you are trying to install on. This is not too surprising, armv8 is not common build target.
Because there is no pre-compiled package file, pip downloads the source version of the package (an “sdist”) and tries to build it on your Android device.
The package has a native extension (C code or similar, not pure Python), so pip tries to follow the package’s instructions to compile the C component (hence the cmake, meson, ldd etc.)
Your device does not have all the tools installed needed to compile the library extension, so the build fails. Since the package couldn’t be built pip can’t install it.

Are you trying to do this in a terminal app directly on your Android device? If rooted I guess it might be possible, but I do not know how to install standard build tools in that environment, or if that’s even possible. It would be very unusual.

If your main goal is to use Frida to hook an Android app, it would be much easier to install frida-tools on a PC and use ADB and a precompiled frida server like described here: https://frida.re/docs/android/
