Good idea!
I suppose you already noticed the "--shared" option that already builds a
libpypy-c.so.
I've never tried it on Linux, but it works at least on Windows, and exposes
all
C API functions from cpyext.

Still missing is the Py_Initialize() function...
Could it be as simple as a single call to space.startup()?
