I can reproduce this.  ctypes.test.test_numbers is easy to fix, but there
are other severe problems with ctypes.

I would love to look into these, but I prefer debugging on Windows.
However, the windows build does not work because the _fileio builtin
module is missing from config.c.  Again, this is not so easy to fix,
because the ftruncate function does not exist on Windows.
