Last year, I attempted to port MPD to Android, but found that GLib was (nearly) impossible to cross-compile. The Android port is suspended until the GLib dependency is removed. MPD doesn't use GLib for I/O. The only exception is the GIOChannel that is used for client connections, but GIOChannel are awful to deal with, it's only used to plug it into the GMainLoop. I don't know about the choice of event loop library yet, but anything is better than GLib's GMainLoop. I like libevent, but I'm not sure if that will work easily on Android. One thing I like a lot in GLib is the GError API. I'd like to avoid using C++ exceptions (and RTTI), because of the surprising semantics and the runtime overhead. (It's too easy to make a C++ program bloated, and I'll do my best to avoid that.)
