I believe that gc method (ref count versus other) either is now or will be 
a PyPy compile option.  Flexibility in certain implementation details 
leading to flexibility in host systems is, I also recall, part of their EC 
funding rationale.  But check their announcements, etc.,  for verification 
and details.
