Brian,
I maintain the DragonLace site and I built an Android cross-compiler
as you noted.  You can not do this with stock gcc sources.  GNAT-AUX
is a separate repository to gcc (maintained in parallel) and I added
code that allows gnat to work on Android.

This effort is not dead.  I was basically waiting to buy an Android
table when I fly back to the States in a couple of weeks.  Once that
happens, I can run the full ACATS and gnat.dg suite on the device to
characterize how good the cross-compiler is.

The first compiler I produced was NetBSD->Android, but I could easily
use FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD, OpenBSD, or OpenSolaris as the host OS.  I
don't see producing a windows version of GNAT-AUX though.
