I have managed to successfully cross-compile GNU Nano editor 2.2.6 to run on Android and decided to share it here.

Please note that you need to set up terminfo (if your ROM doesn't have it already), by running:

Code: 
export TERMINFO=/system/etc/terminfo
export TERM=linux

Unfortunately, it doesn't fully work through adb shell due to the fact that [enter]-key can't be used (this is a bug of adb shell).
It works flawlessly over ssh, although. :D

EDIT: Fully working version is here.

ARM cross-compiling how-to

Assuming a toolchain is already present on the build environment, here are the instructions on how to cross-compile Nano 2.2.6 for ARM devices:

Set the path to C compiler:
Code: 
export CC=~/toolchain/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc

After you have unpacked the sources change to the source directory:
Code: 
cd nano-2.2.6

Now configure the source:
Code: 
./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi

To compile the sources (statically) type this:
Code: 
make LDFLAGS=--static

If anyone has this issue, let me help out:
In Windows, running nano and vim through ADB returns weird characters on the terminal, and you need ansicon.

Or better use ConEmu.

    You will need this patch to fix the enter key:

    Great job!

    I went ahead and packaged this in a flashable zip for people, it also adds a script to /sbin so you can (temporarily) use nano from the recovery console in AROMA Filemanager during that recovery session. :)
