Unfortunately, another error, and it looks like something possibly to
do with multibyte encoding:

    j:\tools\pypy\pypy\translator\c/src/cjkcodecs/multibytecodec.h:12:13:
error: conflicti
    ng types for 'ssize_t'

Here is the last bit of error log:

I am going to try to build with MSVC, see if that works.
