I've merged a script and some patches [1] with the Google Android NDK that allow me to cross compile Python 2.7.3 and also GDB using it (built GDB then runs on Windows, Darwin or Linux). I can also build these GDB/NDKs for 32 and 64bit on each of these hosts. The link I've pasted is to the initial commit, there's been some bug fixes since then. The cross compilation support for Python was done mostly by Roumen Petrov [2] & [3], I just finished it off, adding Darwin support and fixing a few MinGW problems. Maybe this could be of some use? I'm hoping to get it integrated into some of the mingw-w64 toolchain build scripts (Ruben's maybe?) and also upstreamed to CPython (though this would be very difficult).
