test_posix fails on an android emulator running an x86 system image at API level 21.
For the first ERROR, on android we have instead of a list of group IDs:
root@generic_x86:/data/local/tmp # id -G
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),1028(sdcard_r),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats) context=u:r:su:s0

What RTLD_* constants exist on Android?

On Android RTLD_* constants are not defined via macros but as enum values. I guess CPython needs to check each one in configure.ac. See [1]
[1] https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/libc/include/dlfcn.h 

Patch attached for improved RTLD_* checking.

For test_getgroups, in Android 5.1 `id` does not support -G. [1] In Android 6.x `id` seems to support -G. [2] I guess CPython can just skip the test on Android < 6.0.

[2] https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/toybox/+/master/toys/posix/id.c 

LGTM. But needed to update pyconfig.h.in and configure.
RTLD_* constants are also used in Modules/_ctypes/_ctypes.c and Python/pystate.c (this can be a cause of threading and ctypes issues on Android).

Version 2.

New changeset 811ccdee6f87 by Serhiy Storchaka in branch 'default':
Issue #26932: Fixed support of RTLD_* constants defined as enum values,
https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/811ccdee6f87 

Thank you Chi Hsuan Yen.
Please open separate issue for "id -G".

Xavier, please check that issues with ctypes and threading are not gone.

test_rtld_constants is now ok at the tip of the default branch.
Thanks Chi Hsuan Yen.
I will enter a separate issue for test_getgroups and reference it here as well as in issue #26865.

issue #26944: android: test_posix fails.

No ctypes still crashes and threading still hangs.
