Additional info:
* package version(s): 20.3.1-1 (works in 20.2.4-1)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
1. create venv: `python3 -m venv --system-site-packages .venv`
2. Activate venv: `source .venv/bin/activate`
3. create requirements.txt with any dependency. E.g. `pyfcm==1.5.1`
4. Run `pip install -r requirements.txt`

This works fine for me, both when I initialize the venv using --without-pip and when I let it bundle its own copy of ensurepip'ed pip.

Note the similarity to https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9348. Can you double check that there is no --user install of setuptools that interferes with the system-wide installation?

I just encountered the same bug. Reproducer here: https://github.com/asottile/importtime-waterfall/issues/67

N.B. I encounter this only in zsh, not in bash. (?!)
