Comment(by embray):

 I imagine that could also work.  But when I ran the setup.py without pip
 in PDB it showed that __file__ was just `./setup.py`, not an absolute
 path, when it gets to `get_path_from_frame()`, so that line was just
 restoring __file__ to what it would have been if not for pip.

 From that point on the install seems to proceed normally until it gets to
 this strange encoding issue when calling gcc.  I know that pip captures
 stdout and reoutputs it, so my guess is that it's a separate problem in
 pip.
