So, it looks like with PyPy 5.0.0 the problem is exactly the same as with 
the previous version. The translation goes through (and possibily faster / 
uses less memory, I didn't check), but the compilation bails out with a 
`MemoryError` at `buffer.append(fh.read())`:

That's definitively not my fault, I've done my `editbin 
/largeaddressaware` dance and confirmed its effects with `dumpbin 
/headers`.

In the mean time, I rolled back to PyPy 2.5.1 on the build slave. Oh wait, 
I meant to say build follower. Sorry about this.
