The recent refactoring to implement more external functions using
rctypes broke pypy-llvm -- llvm doesn't support some rctypes-ish
operations like direct_arrayitems.

But also, it turns out that just about all pypy-llvm's ever segfault
when running commands like "./pypy-llvm --no-compile --backendopt
translate.py targetpystonedalone.py".

So, er, both, in summary :-)

Will you be at PyCon?
