The svn server _should_ be available, there is a list of changes posted if you click the changes link when browsing the code (most of which are in the gcc-4.2.1/gcc and gcc-4.2.1/libobjc directories).
This is a cross compiler ( and I am developing on Mac OS X 10.6 with Xcode Dev Tools 3.2.1 ). And yes this can create android binaries on mac os x (which the original NDK project can do that as well). In order to build the compiler you should have the NDK from android.git.kernel.org (http://android.git.kernel.org/pub/android-ndk-toolchain-20090323.tar.bz2 is the one I modified from), after that is downloaded, then checkout a revision of my gcc-4.2.1 as well as the new NDK Makefile. Replace the NDK Makefile with mine, and replace the gcc-4.2.1 with mine. Then ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/android/or/wherever/you/want/to/put/it --target=arm-eabi which will start the configuration to build c, c++, objc, and obj-c++. After that make and make install as normal. And thanks for the feedback.
