$ make
echo \"# This is a generated file, composed of the following supp

The problem I had was that the configure script was ignoring the environment variables. To configure the make file I instead did this:

sudo ./configure --prefix=/data/local/Inst --host=armv7-unknown-linux --target=armv7-unknown-linux --with-tmpdir=/sdcard0 CPPFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm -DANDROID_HARDWARE_$HWKIND" CFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm" CC=$CC LD=$LD AR=$AR

This ensures the variables are set properly and works with Linux Mint 13. It does not work on OSX Mountain Lion however. I'd advise anyone using OSX without access to a linux installation to try using linux on a virtual machine.
