Ah, I understand, I think. The CodeAurora tree appears to not have the goldfish support in it (it's a separate branch in Google's tree). It shouldn't be too hard to make the tree just use a specific kernel image rather than building on. There are some commits by David 'Digit' Turner in the ICS mentioning 'atree'. It mentions a -kernel prebuilt/android-arm/kernel-qemu-armv7 option. I'm not sure how to use it, since I don't really do much outside of the kernel.
