Sure. In fact, I'll do a little bit more and post the raw form of how I do
a configure and build for android. I cannot actually post the Python
script I built to build and package libcurl for different platforms,
because I did not ask permission from my work.

Anyway, here are the commands my script eventually executes to build
libcurl (static build with SSL and http support) for Android. Please note
that the path of where you store your ndk toolchain may differ, and your
arguments to make-standalone-toolchain.sh may differ. Of course, your
options to libcurl's configure will likely differ. However, it gives you a
straightforward idea on how to build for android. PLEASE NOTE: the
argument to --with-ssl must point to a version of openssl that is already
built, with both the "include" and "lib" directories present and properly
populated.

   1. sh
   /usr/local/android/android-ndk-r9c/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh
   --platform=android-15 --arch=arm --toolchain=arm-linux-androideabi-4.8
   --install-dir=/tmp/android-15
   2. ./configure --enable-threaded-resolver
   --with-ssl=/mnt/dev/Contrib2/android/arm/openssl/openssl-1.0.1h
   --disable-shared --disable-ftp --disable-file --disable-ldap
   --disable-ldaps --disable-rtsp --disable-dict --disable-telnet
   --disable-tftp --disable-pop3 --disable-imap --disable-smtp
   --disable-gopher --disable-manual --enable-proxy --enable-ipv6
   --enable-cookies --enable-symbol-hiding --disable-versioned-symbols
   --disable-soname-bump --disable-sspi --disable-ntlm-wb
   --host=arm-linux-androideabi
   --prefix=/home/wgrim/dev/Contrib2/android/arm/curl/curl-7.37.0
   3. make -j4
   4. make install

Now, as far as what I might say, to keep it concise, I think it'd go
something like this:

      - prepare the toolchain of the Android NDK for standalone use; this
can
        be done by invoking a script:
        /path/to/android-ndk/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh

I hope this provides some clarity on several fronts. Let me know if you
want anything else.
