[issue20305] Android's incomplete locale.h implementation prevents cross-compilation

[Chi Hsuan Yen]

Chi Hsuan Yen added the comment:

Android NDK provides an "android-support" package [1]. There is no documentation other than README in its git repository, I guess it's a 'compatibility layer' between applications targetting a complete C library and Android's BioniC. With my patchset [2], Python builds and runs on my ASUS Zenfone 2 (Android 5.0.2). Patches proposed in this issue are no longer necessary.

[2] https://github.com/yan12125/python3-android, see commit 82c971a96021e8f8006755b6963ac39f8a5fa412 and 73c2889c19c0bf259021fcc52a3baf5613b1e075
