"LONG_BIT" Error, When cross compiling for Android

"LONG_BIT" Error, When cross compiling for Android

[Zachary Powell]

Hello,
I am attempting to compile Python along with the modules "openssl pil
zope2" for Android using the "Python-for-android" project
(https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android).
However it is not successful and errors out with the below error:

Getting distribution for 'zope.security==3.7.4'.

An error occurred when trying to install zope.security 3.7.4. Look
above this message for any errors that were output by easy_install.

I have set up a bug report for this on the projects git hub
(https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/issues/190) however it
does seem to be directly an issue with the Android GCC so thought best
to contact you in the hope of help.

I have tested compiling zope.security on an ARM device with the
standard ARM gcc and this works fine so it certainly seems to be a
bug/issue with the Android version.

Please if you need any more information etc do let me know!

Thank you
