Surely you meant darwin-g++-macx. :) I don't think the Android mkspec warrants having Linux in it simply because it's such a radically different system in many ways. Custom C++ library, different executable format, custom packaging tools, custom UI stack, the fact that native apps can't even be run standalone without Java glue (at least before 2.3)... it's much further from Linux than Maemo is. As a comparison, BlackBerry's mkspec does not include QNX.
