Re: [Python-Dev] Working on issue 23496: should I use a macro test or an edit to configure.ac?

Which leads me to the question. See, of course, the patches should only be enabled if Python is being built targeting Android, but I'm not sure how that should be detected.

I know that the Android target triple is arm-linux-androideabi. Should I test for the __ANDROID__ macro in the source file, or should I modify configure.ac <http://configure.ac> to detect Android and define its own macro? Also, if a configure.ac <http://configure.ac> edit is preferred, where should it be? It's slightly painful to scan through all 4000 lines of Python's configure script. ;)

Anybody have any words of wisdom on this? -- ~Ethan~
