It's probably more related to CLFS, since it's all about cross compiling for ARM, but after all the Android sources come with a prepackaged ARM cross compiler, and (if everything is fine) it should be somewhat similar to running ./setup.sh. If you have build an LFS system before, you probably won't find it too difficult to compile Android. The official docs are pretty good too btw.
