[pypy-dev] Memory error when importing optparse module

[Maciej Fijalkowski]

PyPy is known not to work on mac os x 64bit. Blame a combination of
crazy licensing schemes (we can't run a buildbot in a virtual machine
nor we can debug it) with awkward outdated tools available on
platform. Or blame us :) Generally someone has to fix this, but as I
said before we don't have an OS X developer. Precise problem is some
difference in generated assembler by gcc or platform needs.
