Correct ways of (easy) porting OSS to Android?

Let's say I'm willing to port an open source software (OSS) named 'foo' to native Android (using the NDK and it's standalone toolchain). Since 'foo' depends on a LOT of shared libraries, and since I don't want to struggle too much with开发者_开发问答 cross-compilation, my first thought was to retrieve the dependencies from an ARM port of Ubuntu using the dependencies from the apt tools running on QEMU :

> apt-get build-dep foo

The idea behind is to compile 'foo' statically (excepted libc of course) against the dependencies from the Ubuntu ARM filesystem. Am I completely wrong ?

Ignoring possible license issues. It is better to see if you have something close to replace some of the dependencies with (to conserve limited space and memory on the device).
