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.
