Some Linaro folks are also trying to build Android with Clang and they have
some wrappers to make clang work transparently (as a cross-compiler from
Intel to ARM). They all hangout on the LLVMLinux mailing list or IRC
channel (OFTC, #llvmlinux).

There are also ABI issues, since androideabi is not gnueabi which is not
aeabi and Clang/LLVM knows very little about the difference (but the Kernel
breaks because of enum sizes and other little things).

I never built it myself, but I know that it's not trivial because the
Android build system is something of a marvel of the modern world that has
GCC hard-coded all over the place. Using the Clang wrapper should work with
a standard Clang binary (if it has the ARM back-end), so the way you build
Clang shouldn't matter much.

Good luck!
