Android NDK r6b Cross-compiling libfaac for android (linking libsupc++ problems)

Question

I'm trying to cross-compile libfaac to android for use with ffmpeg. I've gotten ffmpeg cross-compiled but libfaac is giving me major headaches.

This is the script I'm using to compile libfaac:

ANDROID_API=android-3
export ANDROID_NDK=${HOME}/android-ndk
export ANDROID_SDK=${HOME}/android-sdk
SYSROOT=$ANDROID_NDK/platforms/$ANDROID_API/arch-arm
ANDROID_BIN=$ANDROID_NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/*-x86/bin/
CROSS_COMPILE=${ANDROID_BIN}/arm-linux-androideabi-
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK/tools:$ANDROID_SDK/platform-tools

export ARM_INC=$ANDROID_NDK/platforms/android-5/arch-arm/usr/include
export ARM_LIB=$ANDROID_NDK/platforms/android-5/arch-arm/usr/lib

CFLAGS=" -I$ARM_INC  -fPIC -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused -Wno-multichar -mthumb-interwork -ffunction-sections -funwind-tables -fno-rtti -fstack-protector -fno-short-enums -DANDROID -D__ARM_ARCH_5__ -D__ARM_ARCH_5T__ -D__ARM_ARCH_5E__ -D__ARM_ARCH_5TE__ -Wno-psabi -march=armv5te -mtune=xscale -msoft-float -mthumb -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -finline-limit=64 -Wa,--noexecstack -MMD -MP -MF"

FLAGS="--host=arm-androideabi-linux --enable-static --disable-shared --prefix=$HOME "

export CPPFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
export CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
export CXX="${CROSS_COMPILE}g++ --sysroot=${SYSROOT}"
export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS"
export CC="${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc --sysroot=${SYSROOT}"
export NM="${CROSS_COMPILE}nm"
export STRIP="${CROSS_COMPILE}strip"

export AR="${CROSS_COMPILE}ar"

cd ../faac
./configure $FLAGS
make clean
make -j4 || exit 1
make install || exit 1

I'm very much a beginner when it comes to c++ code and cross-compiling, and I've build this script using many other scripts as reference so I may be doing some unnecessary or flat-out incorrect things.

Anyways, I'm getting literally hundreds of errors along the line of:

undefined reference to `vtable for __cxxabiv1::__si_class_type_info'
undefined reference to `__cxa_end_cleanup'
undefined reference to `__cxa_throw'
undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'

It seems the issue has to do with me not linking libsupc++ properly.

I tried doing what the person at this other stackoverflow question did, but I don't know if I did it right, I'm unfamiliar with the linking process.

What am I doing wrong? Thank you for any help.

EDIT: It turns out I may or may not be wrong about libsupc++ causing the problems, the configure.log tells me the compiler can't create an executable, but I can't figure out what the problem is.

Here is a pastebin of the configure log

Well bizarrely enough the issue was actually that somehow libsupc++ was being linked multiple times, so when I removed some libraries and changed a few commands I got it working. Here's the compile script I use:

#!/bin/bash
