Ok, I've resolved this one, was a misconfigured kernel. OTOH

this still is something that wants to be fixed. As well as the next issue: 
untracked Makefile dependencies. Changing flags in one of platform's *.mk 
files, that affect various parts of the Android build doesn't force a 
recompilation. E.g., changing the ARCH_ARM_HAVE_TLS_REGISTER variable is 
ignored.

BTW, is it a good place to discuss or report such problems here or should 
I report them directly to Google's bug-tracking?

Thanks
