gh-71052: Add Android build script by mhsmith · Pull Request #115576 · python/cpython

FWIW: I've got an analogous project for iOS binary dependencies. There are some small patches for libFFI (which may not be required any more with the release of 3.4.5), XZ, and OpenSSL; the real complication is the build process itself, because of the need to produce fat binaries. libFFI is the only dependency that ships with explicit iOS build tooling, and even then, it requires a lot more work than ./configure && make

It hasn't come up in the iOS patch process yet; but for the PEP 730 work, these dependencies are only required as part of the buildbot, so my intention was to avoid the issue with a Jedi-mind-trick-esque "you'll need a build of libFFI etc" in the docs - essentially treating these artefacts are part of the tooling producing BeeWare artefacts, which is used for builedbot validation process. My thinking was if/when we get to the point where CPython is producing official iOS binaries the BeeWare repo would be donated upstream (or retooled to fit into the existing cpython-source-deps/cpython-bin-deps repos)
