No. not as far as I know.

It's not only about compiling it. You would also need to rethink the I/O system
(no stdin, stdout), provide bindings to the (huge) set of Android APIs, and
integrate with the toolchain that produces APKs.

And what would be the point? How would this help making Android more free [1]
(less surveillant, less controlled by Google) within a reasonable time frame?
