So the argument that this problem is not worth fixing because no one has to cross-compile in this environment, IMHO this argument is not valid. You misunderstood me. I didn't say that the issue must not be fixed. I only tried to explain why it was not fixed yet. > Yes this issue does explain how to reproduce the problem. It even shows the backtrace printed when attempting to cross-build Android x86_64 on a linux x86_64. > To reproduce the issue, just cross-build python for android x86_64 following the well documented process by the Android team. > It is not clear how this backtrace can be missed when reading the issue ! Is there a way to reproduce the issue without Android? Like building Python on x86-64 for musl on a system using glibc? > There is also a patch provided in this issue that is straightforward and that does not involve any change on distutils, only the Makefile and configure. That's interesting, since distutils is scheduled from removal in Python 3.12. Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.
