It would be an utter waste of time. Look at how well Cygwin emulates POSIX on desktop windows (it's a dog). CE is even more lobotomized. Ridiculous.

There are not -that- many custom drivers, and most of them, their Android-specific behavior would just need to be re-implemented - this does not -need- to be done at the kernel-level, especially if you are developing an interface between CE and Android. You would certainly need to rework the JNI level interfaces, though.
I see your point about Cygwin DLL performance - however, many of the POSIX commands that would be required would almost be basic wrappers... the majority of the thread commands have near-direct analogs with the Windows API, for instance.
