[New-bugs-announce] [issue20307] Android's failure to expose SYS_* system call constants causes _posixsubprocess cross-compilation to fail

[Shiz]

New submission from Shiz:

Bionic, Android's C library, fails to expose the SYS_* constants used for the syscall(1) interface, which causes compilation of the _posixsubprocess module to fail as it directly attempts to call SYS_getdents64.

Attached is an experimental patch that manually defines SYS_getdents64 from Bionic's internals.
