Research direction

Start by reproducing the documented pip install . flow on Arch with the latest development branch and inspect the Pillow build output preceding the GCC exit code. Compare the installation instructions with the dependency and packaging configuration; done means the documented installation completes successfully or clearly documents the required Arch/Python prerequisites.

Description

Following these installation instructions https://docs.qiling.io/en/latest/install/#:~:text=Pyenv%20Installation%20with%20latest%20dev%20branch%20%28recommended

I get:

$ pip install .

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
