David your translation (conversion of rpython to pypy-c) succeeded.
What failed is a hack to build the cffi import libraries needed for some 
standard python stdlib support libraries. You can just ignore these and 
move on to testing your translated pypy.
If you actually *need* those stdlib modules, you can rerun the python 
import scripts at any time as
pypy-c lib_pypy/_*_build.py
where the * is any of sqlite3, audioop, curses, gdbm, pwdgrp, or syslog.
The script in pypy/tool/release/package.py will build or rebuild these 
import libraries and package everything up into a nice tarball, you can 
see its documentation via --help
