I think it is a hobby project by one in the suckless.org community.
The closest to a webpage would probably be following the mailing list 
thread starting from this message:

I am not doubting that you are capable of it, just that it might be 
interesting with some independent inspiration sometimes :)

About the Android toolbox: That sounds very interesting! I have been 
playing with trying to get the bionic libc to work on normal linux with 
rather disappointing results up until now. I did however just find this 
github mirror of Android where the different parts seem nicely sepparated.
https://github.com/android/
so I might try to build bionic again using that repo.

I do not see the "toolbox" in any of the repos. I have not been looking 
that much however, but would be interesting to check it out.
