seems i missed the ctypes dependence on the threading module (i always 
passed --thread to translation.py) while the first pypy-c would 
compile correctly, attempting to translate a second pypy interpreter 
would fail with an exception related to ctypes

with the patch below executing "./pypy-c ./translate.py -O jit 
./targetpypystandalone.py --translationmodules" will work without 
passing any more arguments

in case anyone is interested i included the last few lines of the 
traceback to the end of the email from the second run that fails

-     "struct", "_md5", "cStringIO", "array"]))
+     "struct", "_md5", "cStringIO", "array", "thread"]))
