Good question, and yes. The NDK has been available for Android circa v2.0 and beyond. Most Android games are coded in C/C++ as I understand it. In fact I believe it was game developers that persuaded this functionality.

I'm quite certain that GNU standard toolkits are not supported, but I suppose you can install any shared libs you deem useful, or statically compile the functionality into your code. The downside is that you have to be mindful of the Google Market size restrictions. Then again, Gameloft has gotten around this via their own app store.
