Chi Hsuan Yen added the comment:

By the way, socketmodule_2.patch is problematic. Developers may choose to build 
CPython against API level 21 and run it on all devices with API level >= 21. In 
general Android keeps ABI compatibility between consecutive versions. That is, 
most binaries built for API 21 can be run on API 21, 22, 23 and 24. With this 
patch, developers have to build two versions of CPython, one for API < 23 and 
one for API >= 23, or gethostbyname_r() may not be used.
