Followed the README.android again carefully and got it all working.
Modified the mtune to cortex-a8 and up the optimzation to O3 with -funroll-loops. XBMC crashed quite often (OOM) but seems stable after I copied all the configurations from raspberry pi including some fine tuning like dirty region.
Is there any official channel to reports bugs related to andriod port? Can we create a dedicated thread in the development forum?
Here are small bugs I found
*) characters outside ASCII not showing up
*) distorted audio (music/video) when volume is other than 100%
*) cannot set location in weather
*) timezone is not working
*) libFLAC.so is missing in the apk
*) nfs not working even with libnfs.so (I suspect it need rpc running). Saw following errors in logcat
V/XBMC (31023): xb_dlopen: Error from dlopen(/data/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/lib/libnfs.so): Cannot load library: reloc_library[1314]: 158 cannot locate 'authunix_create_default'...

I'm trying (but failing) to compile with "-mfloat-abi=hard" instead of "-mfloat-abi=softfp" is that intentional?

What davilla said. And to add to it: if you change your settings, please don't ask us why your settings didn't work. If they should work and they don't, I'd be happy to review a patch.
@s7mx1: flac verified working at df375a90c7d858c6e6657a71d7e50d9e5d31949d.
Edit: ignore link above, it goes to mainline.

Run into the below issues why does it not find -gcc and does it need a host specified ? I am cross compiling on a 64 bit x86 system
$ ./configure --with-toolchain=/home/tools/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.x/android-14/
checking for -gcc... no
configure: WARNING: host was not specified. guessing.
checking for gcc... /home/tools/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.x/android-14/arm-linux-androideabi/bin/gcc
toolchain: /home/tools/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.x/android-14/
cpu: armeabi-v7a
host: arm-linux-androideabi
sdk-platform: android-10
configure: creating ./config.status

Which NDK are you using. You need this one, in the README.android
To develop XBMC for Android the Android SDK and NDK are required.
Because the Android NDK is lacking support for wide characters (wchar_t)
which XBMC relies on for Unicode implementation, a third-party NDK
from Crystax is being used.
also, do you have gcc installed. sudo apt-get install build-essential on Ubuntu.
