That's cheating. I mean actually using vanilla Android as your host. Yours amounts to using a chrooted debootstrap for cross-compiling to an Android target.

Some call it "cheating", I call it "bending the rules".

The reality is that it's running on the Android device itself, using the device's own kernel. I personally think that qualifies in a technical sense.
