i also tried setting api level to 14 and 15 i keep getting the same error.

any tips on resolving this issue?

Kind regards,
Edwyn

I've absolutly no idea. Is your computer have enough memory or something like that? Disk full? ipcs is ok?
I never experienced that kind of error, and it's appearing directly within gcc. I suggest you to open a bug to android sdk instead :/

I have the very same issue! I'm on ArchLinux, with SDK API 15 and NDK r7c. I solved the error:
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

by creating the directory /usr/local/python/2.7/lib, as said here:
http://koansys.com/tech/building-python-with-enable-shared-in-non-standard-location

But now, when I issue the distribute command again (a simple distribution with only kivy) I get directly the error:

arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1)

[rubik]

It's probably the wrong API level that messes things up. I now see that @edwyns has set his API level to 13 and I have 15.
I'll install 14 (as per the documentation) to see what happens.

I had installed 15 because I thought the new NDK version (r7c) covered it, but probably it does not.

EDIT: I confirm, using SDK API 14 works well!

I've met with the same issue. Yes, SDK API 14 and NDK r7c can work.
