pip segfault on Huawei P8 lite: analysed!

[jneb]

I found that pip segfaults on my Huawei P8 lite. I exactly pinpointed where: in shutil.py there is a statement try: from grp import getgrnam ... and I found that just typing "import grp" in the console gives a segfault. Apparently this is a builtin, since single stepping in pdb doesn't work. Hope this helps.

I checked the android's ndk toolchain include, fount it didn't support grp's setgrent.

57 __BEGIN_DECLS
 58 struct group    *getgrgid(gid_t);
 59 struct group    *getgrnam(const char *);
 60 
 61 #if 0 /* MISSING FROM BIONIC */
 62 #if __BSD_VISIBLE || __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 200112 || __XPG_VISIBLE
 63 struct group    *getgrent(void);
 64 void         setgrent(void);
 65 void         endgrent(void);
 66 int      getgrgid_r(gid_t, struct group *, char *,
 67             size_t, struct group **);
 68 int      getgrnam_r(const char *, struct group *, char *,
 69             size_t, struct group **);
 70 #endif
 71 #if __BSD_VISIBLE
 72 void         setgrfile(const char *);
 73 int      setgroupent(int);
 74 char        *group_from_gid(gid_t, int);
 75 #endif
 76 #endif /* MISSING */

61 #if 0 / MISSING FROM BIONIC / means it won't be enabled.

So, what do i do to get pip to work on my phone? Is there a stub for grp, for example?
