I asked on #pypy and they pointed me to lxml-cffi but it fails to build as well (error message here http://pastebin.com/LUw3FrDK). It works without a problem using PyPy 2.2.*, but it doesn't have Python 3 support.

Hey there,

The crash you’re seeing has been fixed in 5f38597ef8a9 and will be in the PyPy3 2.4 release coming shortly.

With the fix, lxml-cffi unfortunately still won’t install, however. It appears to have at least some Py 2 only code that needs porting to 3.
