The build error was caused by a makefile hack in Gator which was done
for Ubuntu, reverting this in the Android branch fixes the build: 
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=arm/ds5/gator.git;a=commit;h=be919cae567218759122a0ba95e3c92a04f7a3dc

The reason I didn't detect this in my testing is that I had Snowball
configured locally to build Mali support into Gator using the clean
Android way. This config change is now pending in Gerrit, see: 
http://review.android.git.linaro.org/#change,1588 (This is not required
for a clean build, only to include the new Mali support into Gator.)

I have successfully built tracking Snowball locally but this crashes
early in boot with:

  kernel BUG at /data/src/android/kernel/lib/ioremap.c:27!

This fault also occurs if I rebuild the kernel without the Mali driver
changes I submitted.

I tried kicking off a new Snowball tracking build but it doesn't seem to
respond when I click the 'build now' button.
