I just cloned the pypy repository and built the pypy tip (and found a new love for the ASCII Mandelbrot).  Though there were a gazillion warnings, the build completed.  I ran the following:

     $ ./pypy-c
     Python 2.7.1 (2630c86662b4, Jul 05 2011, 08:25:11)
     [PyPy 1.5.0-alpha0 with GCC 4.6.0] on linux2
     Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
     And now for something completely different: ``- how will the fact that they are
     used in our repl change our topics?''

     Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 0.381942
     This machine benchmarks at 130910 pystones/second

So the new pypy-c is at least minimally functional.

Next, I manually installed myhdl for the new pypy-c executable, without error.

Then I ran "pypy-c test_all.py".  The pypy-c executable itself died during the first test, so the current pypy tip appears to be broken.  (Of course, I could be doing something wrong...)
