I have been trying to compile latest V8 for android and was able to build static version following this post:
Android NDK linking V8 static library: cannot find symbols, but they are there
However, i still get plenty of errors when i try to use this with my JNI code.
/depot_tools/v8/out/android_arm.release/obj.target/tools/gyp/libv8_base.a(api.o):api.cc:function v8::CheckConstructor(v8::internal::Isolate*, v8::internal::Handle<v8::internal::JSObject>, char const*): error: undefined reference to 'V8_Fatal'

* Working Steps*
Some more tips for building it right:
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
export PATH=`pwd`/depot_tools:"$PATH"
fetch v8
make android_arm.release i18nsupport=off component=static_library -j8
Thats it, no need to build standalone_static_library. In android.mk file add following dependecies:
libv8_base.a
libv8_libbase.a
libv8_libplatform.a
libv8_nosnapshot.a
