if you build the lunch "sim-eng", you get a dalvikvm built for just the host (i.e. the Linux box you're building on). this already runs with glibc rather than bionic.

if you want to build for a device, and just want a quicker build, you don't need to rebuild everything; "mmm dalvik snod" should be sufficient. (though if you haven't changed anything in dalvik/libcore/, just making changes to the VM shouldn't rebuild much anyway, even if you do a full top-level "make".)

and don't forget to use "make -j" to get some parallelism into your build!
