The compiler I used was the Android NDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html

The software I helped port was GnuPG, although I focused only on the
gnulib aspect.  Still, that brief experience with the Android NDK
left me with the impression that porting other C libraries, like GnuTLS,
shouldn't be that much of a problem.
