Hi Kevin,

Thanks for this report !  A quick note though:

Note that this step, "package.py", is not required to run the pypy-c
executable.  It's merely a tool that packs all files needed for
system-wide installation.  It also prebuilds a few cffi modules.  The
alternative is to simply use the pypy-c where it is (pypy/goal/pypy-c)
instead, if you don't need it to be installed system-wide.  Symlinks
pointing to pypy/goal/pypy-c work fine.


A bientôt,

Armin.
