Hmm...
I've written about it in a comment in the tracker :)

Yes.

Checkout trunk and use the following configure (autogen.sh) parameter
--with-cross-build=android.arme

BTW - I did not find any VM in android's NDK. What is the best way to
check/debug android's soft?
Please also check correctness of defines in
src/include/cross/android.arme - for lear reasons I had to emulate
autogen's output manually.

Yes. Firebird requires a number of newly-built binaries to be executed
during build. In trunk cross-compilation problem is partially solved (up
to fbclient). The solution is clear - first of all I build required
tools in gen/Native. Later during port I plan to solve all cross-compile
issues up to getting installable package for cross architecture.

NDK toolset. But not in google-recommended mode - I just call required binaries like g++ from standard Makefile.
