Version 0.24.1 fails to install on Alpine Linux

[snordhausen]

Running pip3 install pandas==0.24.1 fails on Alpine Linux. Downgrading pandas to version 0.23.4 fixes the issue. Note that on Alpine Linux, both numpy and pandas get compiled (in contrast to e.g. Ubuntu, which is not affected).
I managed to reproduce the issue with the following Dockerfile:

FROM alpine:3.8

RUN apk update
RUN apk add g++ libstdc++ python3-dev bash git 
RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip

# broken:
RUN pip3 install pandas==0.24.1
# also broken: RUN pip3 install numpy==1.16.1 pandas==0.24.1
# also broken: RUN pip3 install numpy==1.16.1 pandas==0.24.0
# also broken: RUN pip3 install numpy==1.15.4 pandas==0.24.1
# also broken: RUN pip3 install numpy==1.16.1 git+https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas

# works: downgrade pandas
# RUN pip3 install pandas==0.23.4

# also works: first install numpy, then pandas
#    RUN pip3 install numpy==1.16.1
#    RUN pip3 install pandas==0.24.1

The error also occurs if Alpine 3.9 is used or if pip3 is not upgraded.
The error message is:

@snordhausen Thanks for the report! I think is this a duplicate of #25193

I'm getting this error too. Do we have a solution?

It’s fixed on master and the 0.24.x branch. Doing a 0.24.2 release next week.
