Oh, by the way like Arturo said it was building for all architectures that was making the build times go through the roof. I changed config.android.default.mk from this:
ABIS_TO_COMPILE_RELEASE armv5 armv7 neon x86to this:
ABIS_TO_COMPILE_RELEASE armv7Debug builds were set up to make just one architecture but our project settings were such that we were testing with release builds.
