For anyone who wants a minimal android userspace image (handy for bringup and test on adp1, etc), I've thrown together a small project based on the android stack but including only the bare essentials (libc, libm, linker, init, shell, some commandline tools, adbd, etc): http://github.com/swetland/tinydroid/tree/master
It's a much smaller checkout (~100MB), and builds much faster (~1 minute or less on a modern, fast box), and will get you a ramdisk.img and a minimal system.img that play nicely with the android-msm-2.6.29 kernel. Final images turn up in out/target/product/generic.
I suspect it wouldn't be hard to just get something like a full arm-debian distribution booting, but that's not something I've ever tried.
