The patches in issue 23496 address the native compilation of Android 4.4.2 on
an android device using a port of gcc on this device. Some of these patches
are not needed anymore on Android 5.0 and it seems that the kbox_fix.patch is
needed because the KBOX application is used to build python in issue 23496.
The existing issues that are relevant to the android platform are, I think:
issue #26723: Add an option to skip _decimal module
issue #22747: Interpreter fails in initialize on systems where
HAVE_LANGINFO_H is undefined
issue #16353: add function to os module for getting path to default shell
issue #20306: Lack of pw_gecos field in Android's struct passwd causes
cross-compilation for the pwd module to fail
