Step one: build a GCC cross compiler which is linked to a newer glibc than what your build system is running, or a different version of musl if that's what you're using. Step two: cross-compile Python against the new libc exactly the same way you would cross-compile any other program, using

Hi Christian, Some of the answers to your questions may possibly be found in PR 1629: bpo-30386: Add a build infrastructure for Android https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1629 Please note that the purpose of this PR was not to give clear instructions on how to cross-compile android, but to add

A Google search on "andoid x86_64" gives about 10,900,000 results, showing that cross-compiling is quite common for the case where the build system and the host system have the same PLATFORM_TRIPLET as when building android x86_64 on an x86_64. So the argument that this problem is not worth fixing

-cc:help (bcc) FWIW the thing to do to move this forward is to open a new PR. Patches attached to an email are lost like tears in the rain. What you describe of cross compilation where host and target triples appear the same but use different libraries is a valid cross compilation case. But

[Python-Dev] Re: [Python-Help] Unable to bootstrap Python 3 install

Hi, While this problem is causing you a lot of troubles, I never had to cross compile Python, and I guess that it's the case for most people. Changing the Python build system and distutils is stressful since it can break Python for the majority of users, rather than leaving the minority of users

[Python-Dev] Re: [Python-Help] Unable to bootstrap Python 3 install

Thanks for your reply Matt. Here's what's happening. This is a very old problem reported ages ago which has never been fixed. If I set the target arch to i686 (on an x86_64 build system) Python will cross-compile and bootstrap just fine. But if the host and build triple are the same, then the
