I bet you can use PyPy to build PyPy, but if you're doing everything from source that's a Catch-22 if you don't have CPython, isn't it? (You would think they would just compile from a previous binary).

There's a similar situation for homebrew on osx. For that a "bootstrap pypy" is used which is older than the one being installed.
So when there's a (maybe) static pypy (for 2.7) which could be pulled to produce the current pypy (2.7 or 3.x) that would work, wouldn't it?
