I aim to have Android support in Linaro GCC soon, but I lack the ability 
to test it. In fact, I have wanted to have Android support in both 
February's and March's release, but it isn't going to happen now.

I did build a Linaro GCC with the Android patches installed, and it did 
appear to build a lot of the Android tree, but the Android build is 
broken. There are problems with -Werror, but even when you work around 
those, it still won't build. :(

When somebody gives me a properly patched Android tree, that will build 
out-of-the-box with GCC 4.6, then I will be unblocked, and Linaro GCC 
will have Android support shortly afterwards. :)
